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.
