Artemis Résumé

Artemis: Thomas Kydd 2 Julian Stockwin

In the great age of fighting sail, life ranging the seas for prey and prize money in the crack frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. Now a true Jack Tar, Kydd sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome after a ferocious battle against the French. However his jubilation is cut short when a family matter threatens to take him from the life he has grown to love; he must return to Guildford. But the sea beckons irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved Artemis -- a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical. Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of the Great Southern Ocean.

Artemis Avis

'These tales of swashbuckling and buckling in the 18th century are told by an author who combines a real enthusiasm for the subject with a solid basis of fact.' - Good Book Guide Praise for KYDD: 'I was soon turning over the pages almost indecently fast... Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi.' 'Gripping...Rich in action and full of interesting characters, this thrilling novel leaves you in awe of the 18th-century seaman.' 'With Kydd, Julian Stockwin quickly signals that he is an innovative and accomplished fresh talent in the field, with a complex and richly drawn hero at the centre of an intelligently structured narrative.' 'Stockwin paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line... the harsh naval discipline, the rancid food, and the skill of the common sailor are all skilfully evoked.' 'The vantage point of the common sailor gives the nautical novel a fresh twist. In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world.'
