Recenzii
"…well researched and in a style east to read, the Sea Has No End achieves the author's aim in succinctly telling the fascinating life story of Antoine Louis Bogainville."
"Suthren has several novels to his name as well as other historical works and, as he makes clear in his introduction, has set out to write a story here that is accessible to all readers, not just the academic historian alone. In this he has been succesful." -John Robson, INternational Journal of Maritime History
