Summary
An Admiralty summons to England cuts short Thomas Kydd's service in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. While the crew of L'Aurore can look forward to liberty and prize money, a shadow hangs over their captain: the impending court martial of his one-time commander, Commodore Popham, who led a doomed attack on South America.
Following Nelson's death two years earlier, England is in desperate need of heroes, and Kydd's Caribbean exploits are the talk of London. Feted by the king and a grateful country, Kydd is soon on detachment in a new and dangerous sphere of interest: the Dardanelles, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea and providing a route to India.
The French have long coveted this route, knowing that it could be the key to toppling the British Empire in India. When they successfully whip up such strong anti-English sentiment that the British ambassador to Constantinople has to flee to L'Aurore, a deadly stand-off ensues.
Meanwhile Kydd's closest friend, Nicholas Renzi, has assumed a new role that he can never make public. Sent under alias on a mission to Constantinople, Renzi must engineer a coup that will turn the tables on the French. But when he's taken prisoner, only Kydd's superb seamanship and sheer bravado can save the day.

Best Stockwin yet!!!
After reading all of the kydd novels so far I must confess that this one has had we nearly in tears several times, and stands definitely at the top of all their adventures to date

Exciting and touching in equal measure
A gripping multifaceted tale, well laid out, enthralling the reader the the very final sentences of the last chapter

It takes a special book for me to review it
I've listened to the whole series and am about to start on the next one tomorrow at work.
Can only describe this series of books as so good they are addictive.

Good but a little predictable.
Having read every Kidd book, I enjoyed Pasha, although I found it a little predictable and a few corners were cut

Simplest Math : Stockwin + Rodska = Excellent!
I feel blessed to have discovered this series. I honestly believe it’s among the very best of naval fiction and for sheer consistency over such a large number of books few of any genre I have read can match it. The blessing of Christian Rodska’s narration is once again bestowed upon us as we witness a watershed in the relationship between Kydd and Renzi as both undergo significant changes in fortune. This adventure to the East is multi-faceted mixing the usual naval fayre with the intrigues of a Sultan’s court. What's more Renzi decides to keep one “terrible” secret from his one true love. I do hope Stockwin’s sense of humour exploits this in the episodes to come!

Not one of the better one's
I followed the series in order and to date all have been good to listen to keeping my attention often avidly listening to the story hours at a time (while multitasking!). Pasha was a little uninspiring and I found myself struggling to complete the book resulting in only short bursts at a time. A shame and I hope only a one off as the career of Kydd blossoms in the next books.
