i last commented here in 2014 … 10 years after picking up a copy of Kydd at a book sale. Now it’s 8 years and many books later, and I just finished Thunderer. Kydd’s first ship-of-the-line command! A necessary step to achieve the rank of Admiral, but will be happy to see him back in his beloved Tyger for the next installment. At this point, I have to laugh whenever Kydd worries that his adventures are over. Don’t fret good sir, you have someone watching over you to be sure that doesn’t happen until you’re ready to retire with all the laurels!
Thank you, Gregg. Retirement is a few years away yet!
