Dear Readers,
The Devil Ship was released on 12 JAN 2023. I want to
share with you some of the reviews it has received:
“The depth and scale of the research is peerless and results
in a thoroughly believable account of an alternate history of the First Opium
War."
The explanation of the origins of the Opium Wars is by far
the best and most concise one I’ve ever read and sets the scene superbly for
the adventures of HMS Nemesis.”
“It has all the intrigue and background that we have come to
expect from the author. Treasure ships, naval guns and Marines intermix with
the all important KEY that makes all this time travel possible. It ends with a
statement:
"The West might do better in their dealings with modern
China if it were to remember what China suffered in the 19th Century."
This book tells some of that story in in a book that you will enjoy.”
“I certainly found ‘The Devil Ship’ very interesting - almost
steam-punky! I love this idea of a ship like that, ahead of its time, only in
the deep past. (It’s even got rockets. What’s not to love? Except perhaps the
fact that it really existed - like Kirov)”
“5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping alternative history of The First
Opium War”
“If you want to read a book that will keep you reading well
into the night, knowing you should really put it down as you have work the next
day but can’t, then this is a book for you.”
If you have
read the book or are still reading it, I encourage you to sound off and post an
online review. Reviews are key to getting the book noticed, helping it gain momentum, and
rise from millions of other published books. It matters a great deal to me to
hear from you. I look forward to reading them.
Note that you
do not need to finish the book to post a review. You can share, for example,
what made you select the book, what goes on in your mind about the chapter you
are reading. And you can come back and edit or expand your review at any time. A survey
related to the book will be released soon. I’d like to hear from you!
If you have not
already done so, go and get a copy of the book.
