3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable - but the not best of the Bolithos, February 18, 2001

Donal A. O'Neill - See all my reviews

This review is from: Success to the Brave (The Bolitho Novels) (Volume 15) (Paperback)

It would surely have been over-optimistic of Richard Bolitho to have expected that the brief period of the Peace of Amiens might have afforded him a degree of rest and recreation - and, sure enough, he finds himself embroiled in treachery, dilemmas and fights to the death in the West Indies and the North Atlantic. There is action aplenty in this story - almost too much of it - and compared with many of the earlier works in the saga the plot seems a little contrived. Though not the best of the series it is however always entertaining and the usual cast of characters make their appearance and act and develop credibly. Affecionados of Bolitho cannot afford to miss it and will look forward to further defeats of Bonaparte's global ambitions as renewed hostilities gather pace.

5.0 out of 5 stars kent's pacing of narrative and realism win through, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Success To The Brave (Paperback)

Classic Bolitho. Our hero overcomes personal doubts and worries whilst always doing the right thing.A story that rushes forward page by page.Personally I have found this to be the most complete Bolitho I have so far read with his charater becoming a deeper fuller one,involved as he is with the conflicting demands of senior rank.

All the books in the series are delightful. The picture of life on old sailing vessels is very realistic. Although the book is fiction, it touches on history of the period. Read more
