Description
1803. Tensions are escalating again between England and France.
While the Royal Navy launches reconnaissance, rescue missions and spies on the continent, French privateer ships are lurking in English waters poised to strike at British trade. Smugglers, perilous storms and a treacherous coastline all threaten to overcome HMS Teazer as her men fight to gain control of the seas around Cornwall and Devon.
Meanwhile, an unlikely rival is seeking her captain's heart. The beautiful and determined admiral's daughter could be the key to realising all Kydd's hopes and ambitions. But high society, he finds, can be as treacherous as his first mistress—the sea.

The Admiral's Daughter by Julian Stockwin is praised for its engaging narrative and vivid depiction of life at sea, reminiscent of classic naval adventures like those in the Hornblower series. The book is noted for its authentic portrayal of nautical life and atmosphere, bolstered by Stockwin's own naval experience. This instalment in the saga, featuring themes of smuggling and privateering, is well-received for its historical accuracy and gripping storytelling.
