Yet another great read from historical adventure author Tony Mead! This is historical fiction with an eye to accuracy and detail - the sort of book you can actually learn from whilst enjoying a good story, where fictional characters blend seamlessly with real life historical ones. Very immersive and well written - a real page turner and exactly what I've come to expect from this author! Well done; keep them coming! DL - SkiptonFantastic read, not a book I would normally choose to read, but this was exciting, historical but accurate, a bit of romance. Interesting story with strong characters. Read as part of a reader book group. Looking forward to the next book. Well done, Tony. ShelfA good read from start to end. Once I started reading, it was so hard to put down. This is the third book that I have read now from Tony Mead, a truly inspirational author and I hope there are more books to follow. SH - HorncastleA brilliant read. Interesting characters and themes with a brilliantly executed ending. A real gripping novel set at sea. I'll be interested to dive into more of his work. WM - Bradford.
