Book Synopsis
"Fine stuff...[The Letter of Marque] leaves the devotee of naval fiction eager for sequels." —Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World

Trade Review
"Both serious and light-hearted, true and sentimental, as comic opera can be." -- Peter Campbell - London Review of Books
"There are two types of people in the world: Patrick O’Brian fans, and people who haven’t read him yet." -- Lucy Eyre - Guardian
"O’Brian’s books are as atypical of conventional sea stories as Conrad’s. Like John le Carré, he has erased the boundary separating a debased genre from ‘serious’ fiction. O’Brian is a novelist, pure and simple, one of the best we have." -- Mark Horowitz - Los Angeles Times Book Review
