Recenzii
Elegantly plotted . . . the writing has the power of a broadside at close range.
Well-written mixture of high-seas adventure and character-based drama . . . impossible not to enjoy
Written with authoritative detail by a gifted storyteller who is passionate about the Great Age of Sail.
Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid, and reveal a profound respect for the seamen who were willing to sacrifice their lives to help save their country.
More historically accurate than the Patrick O'Brian series
This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail. The author closely follows historical record, taking readers into the world-defining events of 1805.
The full-blooded seagoing adventures of Commander Thomas Kydd reach another thrilling chapter.
This latest book is as fresh as the first to be published . . . takes forward the careers of his two heroes in such a natural way that they feel to be a genuine part of history, interacting with the real story of Nelson, Trafalgar and Victory.
