Reviews

Exciting and unpredictable.


High adventure and detection; cunningly spliced battle scenes which reek of blood and brine; excitements on terra firma to match.


High-speed epic from an ace storyteller.


Outflanking and out-gunning C. S. Forester.


Pure adventure with excitement and daring all the way . . . historical fiction at its very best.
