No Quarter

Autor Broos Campbell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2006
This first book in the series introduces Matty Graves, midshipman in the early years of the United States Navy. In 1799, the young US Navy faces France in an undeclared Quasi-War for the Caribbean. Matty Graves is caught up in escalating violence as he serves aboard the Rattle-Snake under his drunken cousin, Billy. Matty already knows how to handle the sails and fight a ship. Now, with the sarcastic Lieutenant Peter Wickett as his mentor and nemesis, he faces the ironies of a war where telling friend from foe is no mean trick.

Recenzii

"Campbell brings to his writing a feel for his period and an understanding of naval seamanship and traditions that are not often seen in maritime fiction. His characters are sharp, genuine and fascinating, his plotting fast-paced and authentic." --James L. Nelson, author, The Only Life That Mattered "Campbell writes with a vivid immediacy and understated authority... His evocation of life aboard a small man-of-war in the young United States Navy during the Quasi-War with France is superb, his characterization is both acute and realistic, his dialogue witty and shrewd... a delight to read." --Richard Woodman, author, the Nathaniel Drinkwater series "Campbell is one of those all-too-rare historical novelists who understands that the real world turns less often on acts of wisdom and courage than it does on folly, incompetence and blind mischance. Refreshingly cynical." --Jonathan Lunn, author, the Killigrew series
