By 1805, the Emperor Napoleon is coming to the peak of his powers. No land force appears able to stand against him and the French armies are triumphant all across Europe. The Austrians, Prussians and Russians seem powerless to block Bonaparte’s ambitions. A huge army waits at Boulogne, ready cross to England, if only the Royal Navy could be defeated or tricked out of the way.
But in London King George’s government remains committed to blocking Napoleon’s ambitions. The navy retains command of the seas and British gold buys a series of fragile alliances with the foreign powers. Every effort is made to thwart the French.
The army does what it can to support the work of the treasury and the navy. The redcoats have nothing like the numbers of the senior service, nor the glorious record of success boasted by their bluejacket brothers, but the will to fight is there. The generals are not content for their men to stay idle in home garrisons – they want to hit the enemy where and when they can. If the navy can put a force ashore, the soldiers will do everything in their power to bring confusion to the French!
While Napoleon has much of Europe under his hand, the British are building a world empire and they wish to expand and protect it. Trade routes and ports must be won and defended. The bankers, politicians and military men are ruthless and ambitious. The fight is carried to the French not only by men carrying musket and sword, but also by gold, diplomacy and cunning.
The tenth tale in the acclaimed Ties of Blood series, Take, Burn or Destroy looks at the early careers of a number of the characters readers have come to know through the books focusing on the Peninsular War, the War of 1812 and Waterloo. The story takes place on three continents and is told through the usual winning blend of solid historical fact and fast-paced adventure fiction.

"Take, Burn or Destroy" is the latest title in Peter Youds' "Ties of Blood" series, but chronologically is a prequel. The book takes many of the characters developed through the Peninsular War in the first nine books and gives us insight into their earlier careers. Historically the book covers the British operations against the Cape of Good Hope, the campaigns in Argentina, and the taking of the Danish fleet.I enjoy Mr. Youds' writing. I think he sets a good pace and his characters are believable and engaging. When he uses interaction between the characters to inform the reader of the historical setting he does so efficiently without bogging down the narrative.
I have read all of the "Ties of Blood" series and heartily recommend them to readers interested in the Napoleonic Wars as well as those with a less specific interest.
