Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Thomas Kydd’s daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham: South America’s Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular unrest. Rumors of a treasure hoard of Spanish silver spur him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in Buenos Aires. Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the British invasion force wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the capital and the silver. But the uprising that promises the end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark conspiracies behind the invader’s actions. Now Kydd’s men must face resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies.Can they save themselves and their prize?

Review:

Praise for BETRAYAL:

'Stockwin, who based this tale on a factual debacle easily overlooked by history, is a master of Napoleonic-era atmosphere and rich descriptions of the military, politics, and society. With the last two books, Stockwin's series is approaching the level of C.S. Forester's Hornblower books.'

(Publishers Weekly)

'Stockwin assembles an exciting and suspenseful historical loaded with action, intrigue, treachery, and the bloody gore of 1805 warfare' (Publishers Weekly on CONQUEST)

More historically accurate than the Patrick O'Brian series (Royal Navy Sailing Association journal on the KYDD series)

Another thundering good read for those who love seagoing stories in the Hornblower mould (Peterborough Evening Telegraph on TREACHERY)

This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail. (Nautical Magazine on VICTORY)

Paints a vivid picture (Daily Express on KYDD)

Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid (Yorkshire Evening Post on VICTORY)

I was turning the pages almost indecently fast (Independent on KYDD)

A born storyteller and a man with a vivid imagination . . . his research is accurate and first class. (Flagship on TREACHERY)
Book Description:
Betrayal Will Steal the Greatest Prize of Empire
