“O’Brian is a first class storyteller. He writes about the sea and ships with a power no other author now commands. To all this he adds a breadth of learning and an imaginative sympathy with his period that never gets in the way of these first two qualities” (Cunningham, 24). “In length the series is unique; in quality-and there is not a weak link in the chain-it cannot but be ranked with the best of 20th-century historical novels” (T.J. Binyon, Independent).
