  • "La belle frégate Artemis, un capitaine valeureux, un équipage soudé, tels sont les éléments du nouvel embarquement de Thomas Kydd. Il part pour l'Orient, en mission spéciale. La Chine et ses mystères les attendent, et même l'amour et le chagrin pour Kydd, qui repart pour une nouvelle mission. La frégate transporte des savants chargés de mesurer la longitude du méridien opposé à Greenwich."
  • "Young Thomas Kydd joins the crew of the frigate Artemis and survives a fierce battle against the French before embarking on a perilous and mutiny-tested journey to India, China, the South Seas, and around the world."@en
  • ""Story of young wig-maker Thomas Kydd, who was kidnapped and pressed into service in the old line-of-battle ship Duke Williams. In his brutal introduction to the sea, Kydd suffered much but learned to love life at sea."--Jacket."
  • "The French vs. the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars: Julian Stockwin's second novel continues the career of Thomas Kydd, an ex-wigmaker who has been forced into service by a press-gang. In this installment, Kydd has taken thoroughly to the life onboard ship, and when his ship, the Artemis, meets the French frigate Citoyenne in battle, Kydd's heroic actions make him a hero."
  • "In the great age of fighting sail, life ranging the seas for prey and prize money in the crack frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. Now a true Jack Tar, Kydd sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome after a ferocious battle against the French. However his jubilation is cut short when a family matter threatens to take him from the life he has grown to love; he must return to Guildford. But the sea beckons irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved Artemis - a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical. Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of the Great Southern Ocean."
  • "But then the family business gets into trouble, and Tom is forced to return home--until a new and unexpected opportunity arises."
