Quarterdeck - first UK edition

by Julian Stockwin - signed

The fifth book in the "Thomas Kydd" historical adventure series. Aboard the old 64-gun ship, Kydd comes to doubt he will ever match up to the high-born gentlemen officers. The frontier town of Halifax, which is also home to a British prince of the blood, provides a welcome diversion. Meanwhile, the young United States is in dispute with revolutionary France, the Quasi War, and Kydd finds himself in the USS Constellation in the heady days of the birth of the American Navy. On his return to Halifax, Kydd surmounts more hurdles, both personal and professional - will he ever see himself as truly one of a band of brothers? The fifth book in the "Thomas Kydd" collected series of signed UK first editions.

Book has black boards with the title in gold on the spine; signed by the author on the title page.
