"The stuff of pure adventure! Peter Wicked is an explosive mixture of seawater, adrenaline, and slightly-tarnished honor. An hour after I'd finished this book, I was ready to read it again. As far as I'm concerned, Broos Campbell owns the Age of Sail."
--Jeff Edwards, Award-Winning Author of Torpedo and The Seventh Angel
"Eventful and enjoyable. What distinguishes this series from other naval adventure novels is its mixed-race protagonist." --Library Journal
“From start to finish and from stem to stern, Broos Campbell’s Peter Wicked is carried happily forward by the witty narrator Matty Graves. . . [It] is a fine sea story, an adventure complete with nautical detail, sword-fighting fun, and an unconventional love interest. . . . Campbell gives us a glimpse of the United States during America’s quasi-war with France, and a feeling that we would be proud to have such a seafaring ancestor as Matty." —Historical Novels Review
