Review
"The storytelling has an easy mastery; the prose is lean and muscular, without a word wasted. How well Kent knows his stuff! Not just the jargon of the high seas -- the pawls and maintops and the quarter-boats and the catheads -- but the psychology of naval men in uniform." --"Sunday Telegraph"
"A rousing adventure to keep us turning the pages, all flavoured with a nautical tang." --"Historical Novels Review"
