Review of "Independent Action"

Tom says: "I just finished one of the best historical fiction Trilogies I have read in quite some time. Kent, Pope, O'Brien, have nothing on Winston. His ability to spin a tail of high sea adventure ranks with them as he weaves a story of daring and brings to life his hero Jonathan Kinkaid, whom he takes from a Lieutenancy to the Captaincy of his own ship along with his stalwart grew as they fight the American Revolution not by land, but by sea. Kinkaid is Americas answer to Bolitho. Winston's characters breathe life into the fledgling American navy as it must battle the pride of Britannia along the American cost and then bring that fight into England's own waters to secure a lasting freedom to a people longing for self-rule.
For one who has read the adventures of Bolitho, Hornblower, and Aubrey, several times over it was good to have an American naval hero to match these daring men of the Royal Navy. Winston has with attention to the history and customs of the time given us a great read.
I believe you will be extremely pleased with Winston's work.
