About The Book
November 1853: Sailing beneath the ominous cloud of war between Turkey and Russia, the 300-horsepower, 31-gun steam frigate Trojan is on her way to the Crimea with a large Royal Navy Fleet to deal with the Russian Black Sea fleet and support the conquest of Sevastopol. The Trojan is carrying on board a mysterious passenger: a young woman whose identity must be concealed by orders of the Admiralty. Although First Lieutenant Phillip Hazard is captivated by the charming young woman, he has a far more pressing concern: the Trojan's captain is a sadistic despot—and quite possibly insane.
With The Valiant Sailors, Stuart introduces her 8-volume series, which presents an exciting and authentic picture of naval operations during the Crimean War.

Raves and Reviews
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] 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 author's command of the smallest detail of the period is impressive. A historical novel of scholarship.
– Yorkshire Post
[Hazard] takes up precisely where Forester and Hornblower left off . . . and in many ways Phillip Horatio Hazard is a superior creation.
– El Paso Times
