The Dark Quartet Omnibus
Four of Christopher Kenworthy’s thrilling Matthew Milburn books are collected here together for the first time.
IN THE DARK OF THE MOON
After being robbed of his farm, Matthew Milburn is left with no choice but to leave his childhood sweetheart behind and forge a new life as a sailor in Nelson’s Navy. But after being left for dead on his first voyage, Matthew is given a chance for revenge on his old enemies. Can Matthew manage to reclaim his past life and the woman he once loved?
RIDE THE DARK TIDE
In 1812, Great Britain and the fledging United States of America are trembling on the brink of war. Matthew Milburn’s son Bartholomew is snatched from him and forced to enlist with the opposite side’s Royal Navy. Vengeful against England, Matthew must fight his way through half a dozen battles at sea and across the wild countryside of Ireland before he can find his home again.
STORM IN THE DARK
In 1815, whilst the Battle of New Orleans is raging between the British and the United States, Matthew Milburn finds himself pursuing an old enemy through the Mississippi bayous to rescue a beautiful woman. Matthew must make up his mind about which way his loyalties lie as both he and the USA find themselves in a desperate fight for life.
AGAINST A DARK SHORE
After the Anglo-American War has ended, Milburn desperately tries to repair his fortunes. However, after making an enemy out of an influential, he is forced to flee, landing him in the middle of a slave uprising among the plantations of the Bahamas. As this beautiful haven becomes a cold-blooded death trap, Matthew becomes involved in a desperate struggle to save an entrancing young girl from a terrible fate.
‘I could taste the salt and smell the wind on every page. A brilliant read.’ - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of The Dante Code .
Christopher Kenworthy was a journalist and novelist.

I’m so glad these four books were together in a boxed set, it enabled me to loose myself in the gripping stories & follow Matthew’s adventures in an engrossing but lengthy read. If you enjoy stories of sailors or historical novels of the early nineteenth century then you’ll love these. The author takes you on a roller coaster of a ride, the pace is kept up throughout the books & at times I read far longer than I’d expected to, as I didn’t want to put them down
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Yup, A Real Swashbuckler
Quite a long interesting tale filled with action, and love stories and plenty of betrayals to gladden the hearts of those who can feel the heat and the salt spray whilst walking or scrambling on deck.
Good character development on both sides of the mast, as well as okay action and battle betrays.
Rise up, tighten your belt, check your sword, it your hat on and be off on your adventure with this book and suthor..
Cheers!

Enjoyable book with good story and characters .
I would have given five stars but the editing was appalling. There seemed to be errors on nearly every page. Shame that the author's work was let down so badly

Good yarns
Good yarns could be made into movie series that would be very entertaining if done by Alan Kroeker as director

Very good read, Pity about last chapter it seemed to repeat its self. A good proof reader would help. There were many times I could not put it down.
