Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'A naval tale of the first order' - 5-star reader review
Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar removed the spectre of invasion and England is now free to seek conquests and colonies in the furthest reaches of the world. Captain Kydd joins an expedition to take Dutch-held Cape Town, a strategic imperative to secure the rich trade-route to India.
But even if the British can defeat the enemy and take possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done. Kydd and his men must defend the fragile colony from attacks by the enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.

Recenzii
'Stockwin assembles an exciting and suspenseful historical loaded with action, intrigue, treachery, and the bloody gore of 1805 warfare'
More historically accurate than the Patrick O'Brian series
Another thundering good read for those who love seagoing stories in the Hornblower mould
This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail.
Paints a vivid picture
Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid
I was turning the pages almost indecently fast
A born storyteller and a man with a vivid imagination . . . his research is accurate and first class.
'This well-crafted naval adventure by a seasoned lieutenant commander of the British navy balances historical perspective with the excitement of a full broadside assault. Comparable to C.C. Humphreys's Jack Absolute series and the naval tales of the great Patrick O'Brian, Stockwin's engaging novel reveals the author's acumen for the history and spirit of the time'
'In CONQUEST, Julian Stockwin unravels a tale that captures the approaching zenith of Napoleon's power, the origins of British South Africa, and the decline of the once-mighty Dutch empire, all seen through the eyes of the heroes of the age of fighting sail. It has just the right mix of action, suspense, and exoticism. Stockwin's exhaustive research ensures that historians will forget they're reading fiction while story-lovers won't mind that they're learning history.'
