Reviews

[Charles van Buren]

A lot of action in one volume

I decided to try the second volume in this series because the reviews were better than those for the first volume. Mullins does have enemies in this story. Enemies who have the ear of the king. Naturally, Mullins & company outwit them. Mullins also loses a ship to enemy action with no harm to his career or reputation. Mullins rescues a Hanoverian prince related to King George etc. Mullins engages in so much action in this one volume that O'Brien or Forrester would have gotten two or three books out of it.

Only read it because it was free.

Boring with no descriptive detail at all. When in battle nobody died and the wounded didn't seem to bleed. Author glossed over everything.

[Mr M.J. Galpin]

Promising series.

Enjoyable easy read, however found the occasional typos and dialogue mistakes slightly distracting presumably from the electronic translation, would reccomend.

Good Story

The plot was well-thoughtout and the characters were believable. The book would be greatly improved if the author had written more dialogue. The narrative becomes tedious without dialogue. Descriptions of action and setting were okay.
