"Tinniswood's absorbing book is packed with bad characters, big fights and breathless chases" -- Peter Lewis Daily Mail "Tinniswood narrates this story with brio and bravura, displaying an excellent eye for the theatrical detail and juicy episode" -- Maria Fusaro BBC History Magazine "Adrian Tinniswood is a masterly writer of history with a gift for slamming his readers into the thick of the action" -- Jason Goodwin Literary Review "This rollicking book unpicks a confusion of names, dates and places to produce a fascinating history of seabourne conflict." -- Christopher Howse Telegraph Review "This exciting book proves that such obscurity is both surprising and undeserved" -- James McConnachie The Times
