Who will steal the greatest prize of Empire?

Kidd summary

This Kidd series has been fun and I'll be waiting for the final books. All are baised on history and provide a great review of events of the time. As sea stories they can't be beat.

Bogged down and couldn't finish

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I'm sure I'll get back to this story someday, but it just bogged down too much and I dropped it and moved on without finishing it.

What could Julian Stockwin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

This book looses much of the adventure of the previous books. Like the earlier "Admirals Daughter", the reader is constantly reminded that "this will not end well." It is hard to love a character who keeps blindly heading down the path to foolish self-destruction.

Do you think Betrayal needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I certainly hope that later stories in this series get back to the promise that the first books had.
