1904. The Russo-Japanese War has been raging for almost a year.
When blacklisted former Royal Navy officer Marcus Baxter is offered the chance to spy on a Russian ship passing through the North Sea, he jumps at the chance to regain his commission.
Accompanied by young Tommy Dunbar, desperate to earn his sea legs, Baxter is betrayed by the crew and captured by a Russian cruiser, the Yaroslavich, where both he and Tommy are held captive in an attempt to avoid escalating tension with Britain.
As the journey unfolds, Baxter discovers that not all of the crewmembers are who they claim to be—including Russian aristocrats, revolutionary Marxists, and mutineers—and with a traitor in their midst, can anyone be trusted?
Braving typhoons, treacherous seas, and would-be assassins, Baxter finds himself fighting alongside his new Russian comrades in the Battle of Tsushima, commanding one of the gun batteries and helping to fight off Japanese torpedo boats.
But with the Yaroslavich hit and going down, will any of them survive?
Tim Chant grew up (mostly), went to school in East Anglia and university in Scotland. He took his history degree and did the only thing he could with it-joined the civil service. When not shackled to his desk he writes science fiction, alternative historical fiction, historical fiction, and any other fiction that takes his fancy. When not doing that, he's an inveterate roleplayer and wargamer (and getting back into historical fencing). He lives in Edinburgh with his partner and their two rabbits. The Straits of Tsushima, book one of the Marcus Baxter adventures, is his first historical fiction novel. As T Q Chant, he also writes science fiction, steampunk, and speculative fiction.
Jonathan Johns is something of a rarity, being a Cornish audiobook narrator. His unique voice, found within his Cornish heritage, goes a long way in bringing stories to life. Fully adept in character dialogue, voices, and narration, Jonathan has the ability to draw in the listener.
