Editorial Reviews

“One of our foremost writers of naval fiction.” Sunday Times (London), praise for the author
“Michael Jayston reads this action-packed adventure with spirit and dash that mesh exceedingly well with the writing. His characters’ voices are a perfect match for their personalities, and he conveys the excitement, chaos, and horror of battles at sea and hand-to-hand combat. The lives of seamen and officers, all subject to the wills of their superiors, are told with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, and Jayston’s performance enhances every aspect of the story. This is a top-notch audio, an example of how good listening can get. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Kent re-creates a vivid picture of the eighteenth-century English Navy.” Library Journal
