β¦ Synopsis
<
Over a quartet of enthralling novels that cross the continents and oceans, William Bentley grows from a young, rebellious boy to a position of command as Sea Officer. He faces harsh captains and harsher weathers on the seas, forms lifelong bonds with his fellow sailors, and follows his destiny in a time as tumultuous as the seas he sails.
Jan Needle's attention to historical detail and care for characterisation make these compelling and rich reads, perfect for fans of Patrick OβBrian and C. S. Forester.
βJan Needleβs tale of 18th-century naval life is following in a great British tradition, but alters it savagely so that it is not the salt spray that remains in the memory but the steady trickling of blood. Try as we might, we cannot avert our gaze from the horrorβ - The Times..M.F
