Product Description

From AudioFile

Part of a series of early nineteenth-century English naval war stories, this novel traces the feats of the glorious Vice Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho during the Napoleonic Wars. Jayston expertly handles the varying accents of the characters, from the upper crust to the victims of the press gangs. As spoken by Jayston, the commands of the officers, wise comments of the older soldiers, and frightened outbursts of the young boys and landlubbers take the listener right aboard ship. Also noteworthy is Jayston's narration of the mighty power of storms at sea, cannon fire and other naval attractions. A must for naval war buffs. J.D.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Sunday Telegraph

"Impeccable naval detail and plenty of action."

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great series of books, Oct 6 2000

By	"geobaz" (Gilbertsville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This book may not have the major fleet engagements sprinkled through it as most Alexander Kent books do, but it is not lacking in action, character development and page turnability (that feeling when you just have to read the next section to find out what's going to happen next). I first fell in love with this series of books when I was 12, and I'm most of the way through a complete read of the series in many years. These books are as fresh and enjoyable to read as the first time I picked up Sloop of War. I highly recommend this entire series to anyone who is interested in the days of fighting sails and sailors.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you read one Kent book, This ISN'T it!, Jul 12 1999

By	"land_sailor" (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews

I love the Bolitho series and have reread them all several times, Kent has not proved able to handle the transition from officer/captain to flag rank. Too dark, not enough action, what happen to the brillance of "To Glory We Steer" and others of the earlier books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dismal and brooding, dark and depressing, Jul 1 1999

By A Customer

In this book, Kent's hero Bolitho broods about marital difficulties and best friendships gone bad for most of the novel. There is only one major sea battle, and that starts at page 296 of a 310 page novel! Bolitho, his best friend, his nephew, his coxswain, his servant and his flag captain are all undergoing problems related to marriage simultaneously. I was left wondering if Kent has some recent disaster in his personal life and wrote this dark and depressing book as a therapy session. I rate this book as the worst I've read in years, the worst Kent book I've read (out of about ten), and a definite do not read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just another great Alexander Kent "Bolitho" novel.
Anyone familiar with Alexander Kent will find a typical great book, with perfect timing, lucid descriptions, and action of that day, better than anyone else can portrait.
