Nautical Magazine
Packed with exciting incident worthy of wide appeal to those who love thrilling nautical encounters and the sea.Midwest Book Review
Much of the enjoyment of Under False Colours is the fact that Woodman writes with such authority. His mariner s lingo is flawless, and at times, the reader is befuddled with his sheer virtuosity in the area. But the action fills in the terms that the reader may be unaware of, and there is no doubt that Nathaniel Drinkwater rates up there with the best of the nautical world.Book Details
