About The Book
Spring 1855: At the height of the Crimean War, the siege of the Russian city of Sebastopol continues. In a desperate attempt to cut the Russians' supply line at the Sea of Azoff, the Allies commit 15,000 troops, 5 batteries of artillery, and virtually every ship of their Black Sea fleets. Commander Phillip Hazard and HMS Huntress undertake the crucial mission of marking a new channel for the Allies' attack under the formidable shore batteries guarding the Strait of Yenikale. Forced to make some hard decisions, Hazard faces court martial afterwards.

Raves and Reviews
[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
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
