Editorial Reviews

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

Yorkshire Post

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

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

El Paso Times

[Hazard] is a worthy successor to the Horatio Hornblower series, and make no bones about it.

Publishers Weekly

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

Ships Monthly

"For historical accuracy, writing verve and skill, and pace of narrative, [Stuart] stands alone."  —El Paso Times
