Title: Conquest
Description: Captain Thomas Kydd's first mission after the triumph of Trafalgar is to capture and protect a fragile new British colony: nineteenth-century Cape Town. Kydd joins an expedition to take the Dutch-held city, but even if the British can defeat the enemy and take possession of the capital, there is still more fighting to be done. Kydd and his men must fight off attacks by the enemy from all sides, while braving the wild beasts and hostile environment of Africa's vast and savage hinterland.
