Victory
First published 2010
Kydd rejoins active operations as Napoleon’s invasion threat and the movement of the French and Spanish fleets bring Britain towards a decisive naval campaign. Political conflict at the Admiralty forces him to choose between competing patrons while Nelson searches for the enemy.
At Trafalgar, Kydd and his ship enter a battle fought at close range amid shattered masts, gun smoke and the collapse of command. The victory secures British control of the sea but leaves the fleet to absorb the death of the admiral whose strategy brought it about.
