"Nautical adventure fans will welcome Campbell's third novel [about] intrepid Matty Graves. Graves proves equally resourceful at navigating bureaucratic [U.S. Navy] minefield[s] and steering a steady course through ... the Caribbean." -- Publishers Weekly "Eventful and enjoyable. What distinguishes this series from other naval adventure novels is its mixed-race protagonist. This situation is historically accurate (20 percent of all seamen in the American navy were African American at the time) and gives the book an unusual, if somewhat jaundiced, perspective. Recommended for public libraries." --Library Journal "A fine sea story, an adventure complete with nautical detail, sword-fighting fun, and an unconventional love interest. Besides all of this, it has a charming, resourceful and engaging narrator." -- Historical Novels Review
