Book
Mutiny
First published 2003
Kydd returns from Mediterranean service as the Royal Navy is shaken by organised protest over pay, food and conditions. At the Nore, ships reject normal command and create a fleet-wide movement whose demands combine practical grievances with a direct challenge to naval authority.
As a loyal sailor who understands the lower deck, Kydd is trapped between duty and sympathy for men he knows have been mistreated. The mutiny forces him to judge when collective resistance becomes rebellion and whether friendship can survive the punishments that follow.
