Victory

By far the best book in this series .The action at Trafalgar as realistic and gripping as being there!

Excellent!

Fantastic book! by far one of the best of the Kydd series! Very well done!

Nice blend of fiction and fact

The author masterfully combined the facts of the battle with the fictional characters. Well done

Stirring stuff

One of the best on the series IMO. The climax at the end was gripping and stirring. Excellent writing.

Odd Man Out

It appears to me, the author wanted to tell the story of Trafalgar, without the hero. Since the narrative breaks from the hero, to an on board midshipman, we have a good account of Nelson's death. But unlike the other naval series of this time, the hero has little to do with the battle, which leaves kind of a hole in the plot for me. Nevertheless, there is still sufficient merit to enjoy the book, and Rodska continues his great narration.
