About The Book
October 1854: Admidst brutal cannonade and flashing sabers, the Plain of Balaclava thundered to two of the most incredible military maneuvers of all time—the charge of the Heavy and Light Brigades. As the Russian cavalry prepares to launch a full-scale attack to seize Balaclava, the British find themselves in desperate straits. Dangerously outnumbered, they are hoping for reinforcements, but in the meantime they must hold their ground, calling for heroism that will test the courage of even the bravest man. Dodging bursting shells and Russian Cossacks, Hazard proves that the bluejackets fight as well on land as they do at sea.

Raves and Reviews
The author's command of the smallest detail of the period is impressive. A historical novel of scholarship.
– Yorkshire Post
[Hazard] is a worthy successor to the Horatio Hornblower series, and make no bones about it.
– Publishers Weekly
For historical accuracy, writing verve and skill, and pace of narrative, [Stuart] stands alone.
– El Paso Times
Stuart tells a story so well, with such convincing detail, that Phillip Hazard may stand on the same proud deck as Horatio Hornblower.
– Ships Monthly
The redoubtable Commander Hazard has won a permanent place in historical fiction and he places his author in the foremost ranks of the writers in this field.
– Yorkshire Gazette and Herald
[Hazard] takes up precisely where Forester and Hornblower left off . . . and in many ways Phillip Horatio Hazard is a superior creation.
