REVIEWS
AudioFile
"Kellgren portrays the brutal captain who refuses to release the young woman from service and creates humor with the crew's delightfully exaggerated Irish accents. Kellgren's subtle yet striking transitions as Faber shifts from pleading damsel to gunnery officer, pirate captain, and brave Navy lieutenant are right on target and move the whirlwind nautical adventures from privateering to the Battle of Trafalgar."

Booklist
"A swashbuckling saga with a decidedly unconventional herione."
