Review
‘…full of the energy that comes from a writer having struck a vein… Patrick O’Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic wars.’
James Hamilton- Paterson
‘You are in for the treat of your lives. Thank God for Patrick O’Brian: his genius illuminates the literature of the English language, and lightens the lives of those who read him.’
Kevin Myers, Irish Times
‘Brilliant’
London Review of Books
‘These books are works of scholarship, classics of contemporary literature, joys to read. Savour The Reverse of the Medal – and seek out its predecessors. You rob yourself by neglecting them.’
Western Morning News
‘Taken together the novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of early nineteenth-century life, with impeccable period detail.’
T.J. Binyon, Times Literary Supplement
