Critics Review
In Stockwin’s hands the sea story will continue to entrance readers across the world. - Guardian
The novel’s prose is fast paced and engaging … Stockwin’s considerable experience of the Navy shines through to provide informative and shrewd observations throughout. There is so much here for those who are fans of seafaring adventures, but also an excellently sustained sense of the history, politically and socially, of the period. A highly recommended swashbuckler of a novel - Literature WorksAbout The Author
