BOOK REVIEW

Caribbean is the latest historical thriller to follow the exploits of Thomas Kydd, by acclaimed writer Julian Stockwin.

Starting as a pressed man, Kydd has risen to command the frigate HMS L’Aurore, though the crew fondly refer to her as Billy Roarer. Having been forged in the great battles of the Nile and Trafalgar, Kydd’s new mission is to scour the Caribbean for any signs of French commerce raiders.

All-in-all this is an excellent entry to a solid series of books, which often centre around historical Portsmouth, and I highly recommend it.

Leigh Park author, Richard Hardcastle’s debut novel The Witches in the Wishing Well is now available to buy as a Kindle download: Fantasy fun for kids of all ages.
