Editorial Reviews

Kent doesn't make it easy for his hero. But he does endow him with the authenticity that makes these adventures the closest thing to C. S. Forester still coming off the presses.

New York Times Book Review

These are the four most recent titles in Kent's ongoing adventures of 18th-century fighting British sailor Richard Bolitho. Good fun for fans of nautical fiction. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
