About the Author
Douglas Reeman (Alexander Kent) did convoy duty in the Atlantic, the Arctic and the North Sea. He has written over thirty novels under his own name and more than twenty bestselling historical novels featuring Richard Bolitho under the pseudonym Alexander Kent.
From AudioFile
This remarkable reading of one entry in Kent's seagoing Bolitho series is excellent. Michael Jayston reads a story full of action and painful romance--his pace is measured, and yet his British voice breathes intensity and conviction. Like C.S. Forester's Hornblower, Admiral Bolitho is loosely patterned after the real historical figure, Lord Nelson, down to an adulterous scandal and manner of death. This book concentrates on a nephew, Captain Adam Bolitho, and the listener cannot put it down. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
