Killigrew and the Sea Devil
The gripping conclusion to the Kit Killigrew Naval Adventures
1855: When Commander Kit Killigrew is framed for murder by his old foe, the Russian Colonel Nekrasoff, he must plunge into the murky depths of the Victorian underworld to escape.
Before long he is on an undercover mission to St Petersburg, tracking down a missing engineer to discover the whereabouts of a secret weapon known as the Sea Devil…
But in a world of espionage, nothing is as it seems. Killigrew must unravel the conspiracy before the trail finally leads to him the fortress of Sveaborg in his most explosive adventure yet.
The blistering conclusion of the Killigrew Naval Adventures takes into the dramatic heart of war at sea. A fitting ending, perfect for readers of C.S. Forester, Patrick O’Brian and Julian Stockwin.

Overdone
Good tale but a trifle overdone on wild happen stance events to always save Killibrew my miraculous events. Still enteresting reading.

Another good romp
Have enjoyed the entire series. A good romp through a part of history rarely written about in this format. Looking forward to the next.

Good addition to the series and again more spy stuff and land based naval adventures. Kit needs to give up on women.
