Critic reviews

"The best historical novels ever written." (The New York Times Book Review)

Ianother book in this great series

Patrick Tull makes this book great
Patrick Tull is one of his masterpiece performances. I have read all 22 of his books (Patrick O’Brien) thing that probably. That's the thing that pushed his works over the top Wall Patrick tols narration, his way of speaking and you know who is speaking. And he doesn't miss a beat when he talks over any kind of mechanical things.

This just kept me coming back for

The story goes on and on

This one felt slow to begin with but ends with a rousing finish. Will likely go for at least one more book

another wonderfully written sea story

Patrick Tull makes every book come alive, he is excellent. so in wads to the next tale

Decent story, but not the best.

O'Brian was running out of real history by this point and was beginning to rely on set pieces, but this is still worth reading if for no other reason than to advance the main story arc. Also it has a significant female character for a change.

Fantastic book

I loved it. Another great book sailing, adventure and prizes. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.
