"An exciting and suspenseful historical loaded with action,
intrigue, treachery, and the bloody gore of 1805 warfare. . . .
[Offers] vivid and lush descriptions of colonial South Africa,
professional seamanship, bold leadership, and . . . the perils of
life at sea in the Royal Navy." --"Publishers Weekly"
"This well-crafted naval adventure . . . balances historical
perspective with the excitement of a full broadside assault.
Comparable to . . . the naval tales of the great Patrick O'Brian,
Stockwin's engaging novel reveals the author's acumen for the
history and spirit of the time." --"Publishers Weekly "(October 1,
2011)
"Continuing the rousing adventures of Thomas Kydd . . . Stockwin, a
career navy man, writes of the nautical life with vivid authority."
"--Kirkus Reviews"
"Stockwin continues to display his talents in transporting his
audience from the 21st century to the chaotic worlds of Kydd,
Renzi, and their imperiled homeland . . . [and] goes into action
with swords drawn and cannons and carronades blasting."
--"Historical Novels Review"
