Reviews
Halfhyde is a fine hero, insubordinate and ingenious.
McCutchan brings . . . a driving narrative style and a vast knowledge of and love for the sea that is certain to delight seafaring buffs.
Much derring-do . . . McCutchan is to be congratulated. . . . He is writing about a stirring period that has been sadly neglected.
The military-series genre hasn't a finer craftsman than McCutchan.
