From the Back Cover
"The Elbe Estuary is a bleak place... Richard Woodman's latest Drinkwater is set around the estuary. It is not a bleak book, it is full of hot action, but the scene setting brings alive the Elbe in a way that will make any seaman shiver." --Fairplay, London
"As always, Richard Woodman's story is closely based on actual historical events... All this we have come to expect... and he adds that special ambience of colourful credibility which makes his nautical novels such rattling good reads." --Lloyd's List
