At the end of each book I want to know and hear more which is to my mind the sign of a good story. Although the series is fairly formulaic they are still exciting and interesting to keep me coming back.

Well worth getting into

Another great edition to the series

Very enjoyable, well read and a cracking story. You can taste the sea salt and hear the cannons bark. Drop anchor, break out the rum and sponge down your barrel. Hussar!

A good old yarn of sea warfare, much to keep the listener entertained, a tale of hardy folk.

A smashing book

Not a total fan of this genre, however, I soon got into it, and then had to stick with it to the end!

Authentic and realistic.

I have been binging on this series but this will be my last for a little while, after a few in succession the formula becomes a little more obvious. However, this is an absolute cracker with tons of action as Bolitho comes up against a particularly cunning enemy, This really has it all with huge battles, intriguing tactics, some of the characters we've come to love and it wouldn't be Bolitho without an element of tragedy.

Michael Jayston is a joy to listen to as he voices the stern Bolitho, portly rear admirals, the massive presence of Allday and a myriad others in a performance that simply purrs with quality.

This one also sees the return of one or two old characters with huge effects and completes a couple of major story arcs that have run in and out the series. If you are wondering if it is worth reading just one more for now . . . the answer is most emphatically YES!

A Banging Triumph!
