The Coward of Grimsby
In the final years of the Victorian era, a French fisherman and an English aristocrat team up on a harrowing adventure that brings forth an epic battle of greed, survival, and redemption. In the port city of Grimsby, England, a down on his luck French fisherman named Georges DuFort meets Cornelius Braddock, a widowed aristocrat searching for a reason to live. Georges tells him the tale of a long-lost ship loaded with Spanish gold that disappeared off the African coast while on the run from the conquering armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. After Georges shares the secret location of the treasure, the two men form a quick bond and begin to plan for the voyage of a lifetime. Things then take a turn for the worse when Georges mysteriously disappears on the eve of the journey and forces Braddock to embark on the treasure hunt without him. After many months and thought to be lost at sea, Braddock washes up on the shores of France half-dead with a tragic tale of bloodlust and mutiny. Since he returns home without the ship or its crew, he is thrown into prison and blamed for their disappearance. Unable to convince the authorities of what really happened, Braddock is labeled a coward and a criminal for saving only himself and abandoning his crew to the harsh fate of the ocean. Now, only Georges may hold the key to what truly happened on that fateful voyage and if the stories of the Spanish treasure were true after all. Will he find redemption for Braddock, or will the truth remain buried at sea? Find out in this gripping tale of a long-lost treasure and the lives it forever changed.

Mr. Ryan has produced a mini-epic of maritime derring-do that unfolds against a late 19th century tapestry. The lure of sunken treasure promises the aristocratic widower Cornelius Braddock a longed-for respite from his debilitating grief in the wake of his beloved wife’s death. The fantastical tale told by the one-legged Frenchman Georges DuFort – and the map he proffers as proof of the veracity of his story – sets Braddock inexorably on a path that will turn his world upside down.
I suppose a novelette is not the perfect literary form for developing characters complete with detailed back stories, which is a real pity in this case as the story being told is interesting and absorbing but mostly feels like an outline for a much longer work. The material is crying out for expansion into something more substantial, all the more so when individual scenes come beautifully to life to take on a more cinematic aspect, such as the first encounter between Braddock and DuFort (complete with overflowing tankards of ale and a seafood repast), and the underwater ordeal and subsequent tribulations suffered by Braddock once the salvage ship reaches its destination.
While I’m in the process of nitpicking, allow me to mention a couple of points that seemed to me not quite credible. First of all, I was slightly confused about Solomon Gibson’s position in relation to the authoritative role Braddock was playing on board the ship – at least in the initial stages of the voyage. If Gibson was in fact the rightful captain of the ship, why did he remain passive when a clearly incapable Braddock seemed to be running the operations on board – even to the extent of giving instructions in the midst of a storm? And Braddock’s trial raises some pertinent questions. I’m no expert on maritime tribunals as the one described here, but I was surprised that no effort was made to verify Braddock’s version of events. The charges against Braddock were based on nothing more than hearsay. And I can’t imagine any accused in Braddock’s position not being afforded some form of defense council.
But the above does not in any way minimize the fact that Mr. Ryan employs a polished writing style, and that his lucid prose is guaranteed to steer interested readers effortlessly through a tale that encompasses greed, high sea jinks, intolerance, the foibles of human nature and ultimate redemption.
And may I please be the first to congratulate the author on his exquisite description of that single pain au chocolat proffered on a sheet of baker’s parchment paper. This is descriptive writing at its best … to the extent that taste, aroma and touch for a moment transcended mere words to become startlingly real in mouth-watering fashion.
I would be very interested to read any future material from Mr. Ryan.

There are three essential components to a good narrative—a beginning, a middle, and an end. Whether you are writing a short story or War and Peace Part Two: The Search for Greater Despair, you can’t go wrong with these elements in place. Length doesn’t matter so long as there is something for the audience to read and enjoy. The Coward of Grimsby is short—in fact, it is the shortest book I have reviewed and among the shortest I have read that doesn’t involve a furry blue monster consuming cookies with the wild abandon of a Benzedrine addict. Its short, but it is wonderful. Author Eric Daniel Ryan tells a concise and compelling tale of friendship, betrayal, and greed in the 19th century.
Its 1897. Grief-stricken at the loss of wife, Cornelius Braddock—the titular coward—seeks a reason to go on living. Enter George Dufort, a destitute French fisherman who arrives in the town of Grimsby with nothing but a map and wild tale to tell. The map holds the key to the location of a lost Spanish gallon—a ship used to spirit Spain’s gold away during Napoleon’s invasion in 1808. Forming a partnership, Braddock and Dufort set about collecting the necessary pieces for the adventure. On the day they are to set sail, Dufort is nowhere to be found. Braddock begins the journey without him. Several months later, Braddock washes up along the French coastline with quite a tale to tell.
There are so many questions. What happened to the ship and her crew? Where is the gold? Why did Dufort miss the boat? How did Braddock end up naked and face down in the sands of the French coastline? Ryan manages to successfully answer all these questions as he launches into the final pages of the story—wrapping everything up and leaving no plot point unsettled. I only wish I could have stayed longer in this world before returning to the cold reality of my own.
A beginning, a middle, and an end… and so much more. The Coward of Grimsby is a treat.

Bittersweet adventure
The Coward of Grimsby by Eric Daniel Ryan is a wonderfully written tale of adventure—featuring the so-called coward of Grimsby, Cornelius Braddock. From sailor Georges DuFort, widower Braddock learns DuFort’s family tale of treasure lost at sea. Together the two plan a search, and find a crew, but twist of fate has Braddock braving the journey—and later the blame and title of coward—by himself.
The end is bittersweet, but overall, the story of a man with nothing to live for living more than most ever do was great. The writing is very descriptive—I felt cold when out at sea, and warm within the safety of a bakery—and it is an interesting study of wealth, worth, and greed.

Aristocrat Braddock gets sucked in by the Tale of the sunken and forgotten Spanish gold, told to him by fisherman DuFont. Striking out to find this ship and gold becomes Braddock’s newest mission. Countless tragedies befall him and the crew along the way, but only he makes it back. Will he be able to convince others if his innocence?
Short, yet full of adventure, this was certainly a good book to read. The story was compelling and interesting and not anything I have read before. The pacing was quick and the plot sound. Great conclusion in the end.

Author Eric Daniel Ryan has crafted a wonderful tale of mystery, suspense and adventure. The Coward of Grimsby introduces Georges DuFort and Cornelius Braddock, two unlikely partners who join forces in the search for a long-lost ship loaded with Spanish gold. In order to find this treasure, they have to travel to the coast of Africa but things won’t be easy. Georges mysteriously disappears leaving the aristocrat to embark on his own. Months will go by until Braddock returns to France describing a terrible story of shipwrecks, greed, blood and death. He is deemed a coward and a criminal and now only Georges holds the key to find the truth about this gripping adventure.
The description of settings and characters is excellent and it contributes to form a plot that is thrilling and fascinating. I really enjoyed this book and I strongly recommend it.

In broadcast media and newspaper writing, a reporter must verify and confirm a story before making it public. The same is true when you stand before a judge. No matter how you assert your point, no one will believe you unless someone else confirms your story. That’s what happened to Cornelius Braddock. He was accused of being the Coward of Grimsby but no one shows up to attest his story.
Eric Daniel Ryan’s The Coward of Grimsby tells a story of two unlikely characters. A French fisherman and an English aristocrat decide to join forces in search of a lost ship loaded with gold.
George Dufort intends to find Spain’s treasure his grandfather told him about. And so, he decides to leave his homeland and head to England. With only a map as his guide, he disembarks at the Royal Docks in Grimsby. He searches for a partner to go with him in his quest. He spends days calling out,
Finally, an English widower named Cornelius Braddock notices him. Braddock listens to his story and eventually agrees to join him in the adventure.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. On the day of the voyage, Braddock leaves without Dufort. He sails with a hostile crew instead. And, in the course of the voyage, something happened that leads Braddock to escape. He eventually lands on a shore where a young boy and his mother rescue him.
What happens to George Dufort and why does Braddock need to escape? Read The Coward of Grimsby and follow the mystery that befalls the two lead characters.
The Coward of Grimsby: The Book
The Coward of Grimsby is a short read set in the 19th century towards the end of the Victorian era. In less than 50 pages, the author pulls a powerful story packed with hope, adventure, and disappointment. The drama in the deep ocean adds to the mystery to the story. It drowns the secrets of men.
Likewise, I admire Eric Daniel Ryan’s style of writing. It’s straightforward and fast-paced. He brings the readers to a mysterious sea trip. What I like the most in the story is the conversation between Georges and Pierre.
On the technical side, Ryan ends the story with no loose ends. And, for this, I give The Coward of Grimsby a rating of 5 out of 5 stars, and I recommend the book to readers 13 years old and above.

The seas are a deep and mysterious place that holds the secrets of sunken ships and pirates of all kinds. The Coward of Grimsby is a short read but packed with adventure, disappointments, and hope. Braddock has nothing left, so taking on a guarded quest was the only stimulating thing he had felt since his wife died. George holds the map of a sunken ship, and teaming up with Braddock was a marvel. Can anything good come out of a trip of disaster?
Eric Daniel Ryan pulls his readers into the lives of George and Braddock as the bizarre trip they intend to embark on. But nothing turns out as planned. When they put their guard down they are both put at a disadvantage, George at the beginning of the trip and Braddock at the end. A fascinating short read that felt like a full novel.

The Coward of Grimsby is a beautiful tale that compresses myriad emotions into a few pages. A story of greed, adventure, lost love, friendship, and the realities of life, it is truly a brilliant read. Not only does Eric weave a fabulous story, but his writing is mesmerizing, almost poetic. I particularly love how the story, about an expedition to find lost treasure, captures every element of the adventure - from its discovery to execution and, finally, the sad aftermath of the voyage. A heartening and must-read book.

In length, the Coward of Grimsby is little more than a short story, but it packs a lot into the pages. The writing style is almost as though it is a documentary, such that will have you wondering if there really was an incident in the end of the 19th Century where a ship out of the port of Grimsby sailed off on a journey to retrieve sunken treasure.
All on the vessel were apparently lost at sea, except for Cornelius Braddock who washed up on the coast of France. On his return to Grimsby he is accused of having left the rest of the crew to die while saving himself. Braddock had only been part of the expedition because of meeting with a Frenchman, Georges DuFort, who finally did not sail with the ship, but who we meet again at the end of the story in a rather surprise ending. Mind you, I couldn't help wondering: Why Grimsby. It doesn't seem the obvious port for a Frenchman to go to. A quibble, I suppose.
I liked the style and thought the length was just right for the way it was written, despite the fact that I frequently don't like short fiction. It could easily have been written as a full length novel, but would have lacked the punch that this has.
So the story isn't so much about seafaring, but about the characters; their greed, their inability to fight circumstances and the final rightness of the ending.

Author Eric Daniel Ryan tells the adventurous old tale of a voyage at sea in his novelette ‘The Coward of Grimsby.’ Beginning in the seaside port city of Grimsby, England in the 1800’s, this book follows the self-proclaimed coward Cornelius Braddock and French fisherman Georges Dufort and their plans to journey out to sea. However, not everything goes as planned. It’s a fun, short and easy read. In just 37 pages, Eric Daniel Ryan managed to craft a captivating and detailed storyline that I thoroughly enjoyed. His writing is very descriptive, and I felt like I was right in the action. Overall, it’s a great novelette and I would recommend it!

A short and well-written story
“The Coward of Grimsby” is a wonderful short story, great for reading in one sitting. Written by Eric Daniel Ryan, the story is set in England during the Victorian Era. Survival - no matter at what cost- is the main idea that makes the characters of the story -a French fisherman and an English aristocrat- to keep on.
With plenty of mysteries to be solved, the story kept me at the edge of my seat and I could feel my heart beating with passion and curiosity.
It has been a long time since I read such a marvelous short story, and this is why I give it five stars and I recommend it to both teenage and adult readers.

A short story filled with adventure and treasure!
This book is pretty short, but has good storytelling. I really liked the portion of Georges telling Braddock how the treasure came to be. I could really picture the scene with the good amount of detail given.
Knowing that this was meant to be a short story, I still wanted more from the actual search for the treasure. I felt like I needed more detail from the voyage and characters.
Overall this was a fun story that I could imagine being passed down as a bedtime tale so to speak during that time period. Who doesn't like a classic treasure adventure.

The Coward of Grimsby was my first book by Eric Daniel Ryan and not my normal genre to read but wanted to branch out and this did not disappoint. This is a well-crafted story filled to the brim with suspense, mystery, lost love, friendship and thrilling adventures. Two partners come together to search for long lost ship that is carried Spanish gold. I enjoyed this short story, the adventures they go on, the ups and downs, it makes for a fantastic read for anyone to enjoy. I am looking forward to stumbling across genres like this more often.

This short tale describes the determination of humans. The story is emotional as it delves with loss, adventure and new beginning, which make the plot outstanding.
It reads quite fast; I believe I finished it in a go. I always like reading historical fiction so this was quite my match; as soon as I saw the cover, I knew this was going to be a story that, at least, I would like.
Characters were very good described and developed and add a lot to the story. I liked how the author constructed them. I would recommend reading it because it is entertaining and enjoyable.

I felt as if the author was able to make me feel the draw of the adventure undertaken by the main character in the story. In this short story, without falling into wallowing self pity, there were many emotions displayed, to me, in a realistic way based on circumstances.
Based on the author’s background, I wonder if this may be the precursor to a future longer story or screenplay. The conclusion left me satisfied.

The Coward of Grimsby was a very interesting short story. It was well paced, and the character development was great for a story of this size. There weren’t huge swaths of conversation, however that didn’t stifle the narrative at all. I wish I could elaborate more, but I pause to do to the length. If I state too much it will give it away and if I try to hard it will just be the blurb repackaged. So, I will leave it simply by saying that I really enjoyed this story and can see that this author will only get better the more he challenges himself. A great read, I highly recommend.

This was a lovely story, I did actually would have enjoyed to read it as a full novel, for it to be fleshed out more. But the writing was enjoyable and the story was well executed and thought of.

Short but great read
A great short story with the sea as a setting. Pirates included! And a mystery with a twist for the end.

A interesting story not my usual kind of story but I was impressed with it

A short, but intense read. This story has aspects of a thriller and a mystery, as well as historical, taking place long enough ago that most readers (or at least this reader) wasn’t sure what kinds of things we wouldn’t anticipate today that might have happened in that day and age. All of this worked to keep me interested and engrossed in the story.
