Trade Review
"Written in a clear, direct style, A Fleeting Empire is an impressive achievement. It will enlighten anyone interested in the history of the Atlantic world in the early 17th century." The Chronicle Herald "Nicholls succeeds in providing students and scholars alike with a carefully researched and well-told investigation into the spectacular yet short-lived efforts and achievements of the Merchant Adventurers to Canada during the Early Stuart period." Michae "This excellent book illuminates a neglected period of both British and Canadian history." Matthew Dziennik, University of Edinburgh
