Having joined the British Royal Navy when only fifteen, Julian Stockwin's adept nautical know-how shows in his novels. We are treated to travel alongside the sailors and experience life on a 'fighting-sail' vessel. The combat scenes, with their elements of surprise, heroism, and horror, have an authenticity about them. These, combined with the political intrigue, particularly in the Baltic Sea countries, and the descriptions of societal norms of that period make this a truly interesting historical novel.
