1793 and Europe is ablaze with war. Thomas Paine Kydd, a young wig-maker from Guildford, is seized by the press gang to be a part of the crew of the 98-gun line-of-battle ship Duke William. The ship sails immediately and Kydd has to learn the harsh realities of shipboard life fast. Despite all that he goes through in danger of tempest and battle he comes to admire the skills and courage of the seamen - taking up the challenge himself to become a true sailor. Kydd is the first book in the acclaimed series, and is based on real events.

I like the O'Brian books and found this has the same quality. It pulls you into a different world and makes you reluctant to turn it off.I was skeptical but, it pulled me in and hooked me

Would you listen to Kydd again? Why?
Yes, I am anxious to start book two.What did you like best about this story?
The adventure was exciting and engrossing - reels you in and keeps it interesting. Not too much "fluff", which seems to be prevalent in several of the books I've listened to.What does Christian Rodska bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Excellent voices - great interpretation.Who was the most memorable character of Kydd and why?
Thomas Kydd is the main character of course, and naturally the most memorable.Any additional comments?
I enjoyed this book a great deal - but be forewarned - it contains a lot of sailing/nautical nomenclature of the period, and it does not go into what any of it is. As I was not familiar with those terms it made it a bit challenging to follow at times. Also, one other small criticism is that sometimes the scenes (or particular parts of the story) seem to get truncated leaving the listener wondering what happened. Don't let these things scare you off though, I'm a tough critic, and I enjoyed this book very much.Thoroughly Entertaining!
