Caribbee

The 14th volume in the popular high-seas nautical adventure series featuring naval hero Thomas Kydd. As the captain of the 32-gun frigate L'Aurore, Kydd is claimed by the Leeward Islands station, exchanging the harsh situation in South America for the warmth and delights of the Caribbean. It's a sea change for Kydd, who revisits the places and people that figured in his time as a young seaman. Some are nostalgic and pleasing, while others bring challenges of a personal nature. Even though Napoleon is triumphant on land back in Europe, Kydd and the others feel secure so far away in the Caribbean, making the most of running down prizes and sending off fat convoys of sugar to England. But, in a stroke of genius, Bonaparte finds a way to take revenge for Trafalgar, and Kydd is shocked out of complacency when an element from his past returns and he is accused of murder. In a stroke of irony, it is that same past that may just provide Kydd the means to clear his name.
