I enjoyed Dan Parkinson's Dalton series which had the same setting so I look forward to reading them. James L.

Have read the odd bit and seen documentaries etc. about the monitor but don't know much else about the naval side of the civil war. I would be interested to learn more and these may give an insight. Anyone read them? James L.

Been keeping an eye on the bookshops here in the UK for the others but haven't seen them yet so they are added to my online wish list. James L.

I enjoyed reading it as it covered a period, the early years of the American colonies that I new little about. Always intended to get some more of his books but haven't got round to it yet. James L.
