Life in the crack frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. It is also a world away from the harsh experiences of
a man pressed aboard the old ship-o?-the-line Duke William that was Thomas Kydd's introduction to the sea. Now a true
Jack Tar, Kydd sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome after a ferocious battle against the French. However
his jubilation is cut short and he must return to Guildford, but the sea beckons irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship
out again in his beloved Artemis. Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of the Great
Southern Ocean.
