"This volume contains some of his best work, we are back among the day days of Napoleon, a period which had great appeal for him, with Rodney Stone a stirring tale of Regency times. The colourful uniforms, flashing arms & scarlet banners are vividly re-recreated from the adventures of Micah Clarke, & the events of the Monmouth rebellion. Doyle's remarkable talents as a storyteller shine through in The Refugees, a sympathetic evocation of the Hugenot exodus. With a strong characterizations & to him, more romantic scenarios Doyle created a wonderful blend of history & adventure, the like of which has yet to be equalled."
