The Admiral's Daughter
In the 8th volume in the popular high-seas nautical adventure series, Thomas Kydd and Nicholas Renzi return to England in 1803 after tumultuous episodes on the other side of the world, only to find England in peril of starvation and bankruptcy. Kydd is placed back in command of his beloved vessel Teazer, but he barely has time to prep her for the sea before he is sent on an urgent mission. Smugglers, enemy privateers, and treacherous sea conditions await Kydd on his journey to northern France on the eve of war, but equally worrisome events are occurring ashore. When a growing attachment to the admiral's daughter curbs Kydd's blissful reunion with Teazer, he is forced to make a terrible decision that may cause the end of his friendship with Renzi--or the end of his naval career.

Praise for this book
Stockwin's writing is enriched by his own experiences in the Royal Navy, which gives scenes of fighting and tempest an authenticity to delight anyone who shares his passion for the sea.-- "Daily Telegraph"
Elegantly plotted . . . the writing has the power of a broadside at close range.-- "Oxford Times"
The vantage point of the common sailor gives the nautical novel a fresh twist. In Stockwin's hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world.-- "The Guardian"
Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid, and reveal a profound respect for the seamen who were willing to sacrifice their lives to help save their country.-- "Yorkshire Evening Post"
A blend of highs and lows that will affect each reader in different ways. It is consummate storytelling that is not to be missed.-- "Pirates and Privateers"
Fans of fast-paced adventure will get their fill with this book.--Historical Novels Review Online
A rousingly exciting and delicious full-immersion in the perils of seafaring and society during the great Age of Sail!--Dewey Lambdin, author of the Alan Lewrie series
Period dialect and seagoing argot aplenty add credibility to the adventure, and the unworldly Kydd is an apt lens for the reader's journey.-- "Publishers Weekly"
Comparable to C.C. Humphreys's Jack Absolute series and the naval tales of the great Patrick O'Brian.-- "Library Journal"
Likable Tom and his shipmates make a snug fit in that page-turning Forester and O'Brian tradition--thanks to retired Royal Navy author Stockwin.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
