Critics Review

Another thundering good read for those who love seagoing stories in the Hornblower mould - Peterborough Evening Telegraph on TREACHERY

Another ripping yarn - Good Book Guide on TREACHERY

I was soon turning the pages almost indecently fast…Roll on, the promised adventures of Kydd and Renzi - Independent on KYDD

Stockwin paints a vivid picture of life aboard the mighty ship-of-the-line…the harsh naval discipline, the rancid food, and the skill of the common sailor are all skilfully evoked. - Daily Express on KYDD

Stockwin is a born storyteller and, with his series of intriguing sub-plots, a man with a vivid imagination. Importantly, his research is accurate and first class. Treachery is highly recommended. - Flagship on TREACHERY

An absorbing tale - Firetrench on TREACHERY
