About the Author
Born in Edinburgh in 1944, David Donachie has had a variety of jobs, including selling everything from business machines to soap. He has always had an abiding interest in the naval history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The author of a number of bestselling books, he now lives in Deal, Kent with his wife, the novelist Sarah Grazebrook and their two children.
Review
"It is once Donachie takes us into the thick of the action that his style comes alive, and it is clear why fans keep coming back for more. Gun emplacements are blown up, merchant convoys are captured, and shore parties are ambushed. Historical figures (Nelson pops up quite a lot) appear alongside our hero, and the action carries you along quite easily." (Historical Novels Review)
