Reviews

Praise for Flint & Silver:

Flint & Silver contains the essential ingredients to attract a worldwide following Western Morning News

An epic tale of friendship and treason The Sea

Swashbuckling adventure on the high seas doesnt get much better than this. If you loved Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island as a kid and who didnt then you will absolutely love this not-for-kids prequel. John Drake writes beautifully, and youll be torn between savoring the words and quickly flipping the pages. Any favorable comparison to Stevenson or Patrick OBrian is totally justified Nelson DeMille
