Betrayal by Julian Stockwin
Who will steal the greatest prize of empire?Praise for BETRAYAL:
'Stockwin, who based this tale on a factual debacle easily overlooked by history, is a master of Napoleonic-era atmosphere and rich descriptions of the military, politics, and societyWith the last two books, Stockwin's series is approaching the level of C.S. Forester's Hornblower books.'
'Stockwin assembles an exciting and suspenseful historical loaded with action, intrigue, treachery, and the bloody gore of 1805 warfare' * Publishers Weekly on CONQUEST *
More historically accurate than the Patrick O'Brian series * Royal Navy Sailing Association journal on the KYDD series *
Another thundering good read for those who love seagoing stories in the Hornblower mould * Peterborough Evening Telegraph on TREACHERY *
This heady adventure blends fact and fiction in rich, authoritative detail. * Nautical Magazine on VICTORY *
Paints a vivid picture * Daily Express on KYDD *
Stockwin's descriptions of the bloody reality of naval combat 200 years ago are memorably vivid * Yorkshire Evening Post on VICTORY *
I was turning the pages almost indecently fast * Independent on KYDD *
A born storyteller and a man with a vivid imagination . . . his research is accurate and first class. * Flagship on TREACHERY *
