The Threat In The East

"All of Burnage's books are interesting and well written. He is obviously the best of the many maritime authors. Too many of the others fill their tales with domestic drivel rather than action at sea.

Not so Burnage!"

"Another excellent sea tale ! There is just so much authors can add to the countless stories around this time in history, some excel in there developed plots of hero's versus villain and remain in the realms of believable historic fiction. This series and author excel in my humble opinion"

"Patrick O’Brien? I thought I would never get hooked on a series like this one I’ll be darned if this one isn’t easier to read maybe even better great ship tales kind of stuff you remember"

"I am thoroughly enjoying the Merriman chronicles. As a series in the age of fighting sail these books are well constructed, characters are solid, and the technical points of sailing a fighting ship are well done.
Thank you Roger Burnage!"

"Great novel describing the naval action at the end of Napoleon in Europe and his attempt to invade Egypt and further his attempt to move into India and the spice trade. The navy move against pirates and privateers"

"I had been awaiting the (next) book of the series and wasn't disappointed. Enjoyable book to read, rounding out the chronicles. Being set in India, was a nice change and interesting. If you have read either of the previous books, you will enjoy this one as well"
