Trade Review
"I haven’t read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of the Patrick O’Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on heroin. I started on those books and couldn’t stop." -- E. O. Wilson - Boston Globe
"The Letter of Marque is both serious and light-hearted, true and sentimental, as comic opera can be." -- Peter Campbell - London Review of Books
"[Patrick O'Brian has] the power of bringing near to the reader...savagery and tenderness, beauty and mystery and boldness and dignity." -- Eudora Welty
