Kirkus Reviews
"A lively, engrossing saga that brings epic chapters of US history out of the archival hold into the bracing air of the quarterdeck." 04/15/1996 New York Times Book Review
"...[R]eading 'Annapolis' is a relatively painless way to absorb more than 200 years of United States naval history, from the frigate Constitution to modern nuclear submarines....'Annapolis' is best when Mr. Martin steers his plot clear of both its amazing coincidences and its main framing device....At its most vivid, the book provides a lively picture of life in the 19th-century Navy, replete with seasickness and floggings as well as horrific battles. Readers who bring 'Annapolis' to the beach will be thankful they're cruising in nothing more dangerous than a beach chair." - Polly Morrice 07/21/1996
