Editorial Reviews

For historical accuracy, writing verve and skill, and pace of narrative, [Stuart] stands alone.

El Paso Times

The redoubtable Commander Hazard has won a permanent place in historical fiction and he places his author in the foremost ranks of the writers in this field.

Yorkshire Gazette and Herald

The author's command of the smallest detail of the period is impressive. A historical novel of scholarship.

Yorkshire Post

Stuart tells a story so well, with such convincing detail, that Phillip Hazard may stand on the same proud deck as Horatio Hornblower.
