Kevin Glynn

H. Wendell Gray Jr. July 30th, 2021 FIVE STARS: Marvelous Elizabethan I Naval Adventure read This is a well written and substantially researched book of historical fiction by Kevin Glynn describing English seamanship during the latter 16th century of the Tudor Reformation under the reign of Elizabeth I. The adventures of the crews on the high seas aboard ships of reprisal and their raids upon Spanish Galleons laden with treasure from the New World returning to Spain has been laid out in inviting and entertaining prose by the author. It is most difficult to stop reading this book as the strategy in engaging the Spanish ships on the high seas is described so vicariously. The thorough character development of the officers and sailors with their interactions was most rewarding for this previous naval reserve officer to experience. A very satisfying read and a book well worth purchasing.
