Prisoners of the Sea

I Gave it a 4 Out of 5 Stars
From Gary Johnson of Stillwater, Minnesota on 4/8/2020.

My first book through Lamplighter and it was a winner. Excellent storyline that kept you on edge. A historical novel I guess of sorts. I would definitely recommend this read.

Grand Adventure!
From Anonymous of Wiggins, Mississippi on 1/11/2020.

This is an awesome story. Once I got into it a chapter or two, I could hardly put it down! I want to read it again so I can soak in all the little parts that I might have overlooked in the grand drama of the whole story. The story is a grand adventure and mystery! As Dr Mark Hamby states in the Preface, “this story will captivate you from beginning to end.” I wholeheartedly agree! Order this book! You will not regret it!

Best! Lamplighter! Book!
From Melonie Luck of Morehouse, New York on 10/1/2018.

I started reading this book on my own, but only a few chapters in I decided I needed to read it aloud to my children (ages 18, 11 & 10). But I just had to keep reading on my own! Just about every chapter ends on a cliffhanger and you just can't put it down! It has everything you could want in a book - mystery, drama, romance, adventure, pirates, and suspense along with the character building qualities you expect to find in a Lamplighter book. I especially love the little nuggets I've gleaned within these pages. For instance when the Huguenot pastor says "Why bemoan a sleepless night? ...better to be in communion with the heavenly Father than in an unconscious state..." Love that! This is one book we're proud to own (we will read it again and again!) and highly recommend to anyone - lovers of books or no! This would make a great movie!

Captivating Story and Detail
From Heidi of Brisbane, Australia on 7/30/2017.

I have just finished reading this thoroughly captivating adventure. It is a first, in a long time, that I found the story so fluent in pace and charm, that when I put this book down or rather when I could, one is able to consider the finer points like looking at the detail of a tapestry up close. The author obviously knows her characters and their lives. Such an adventure in story and history. What a read.

AMAZING!
From Shawlame Gorman of Oneida, New York on 12/16/2015.

This is one of my most favorite books ever! I mean I love all the lamplighter books I've read, but this one is just awesome. And the plot twists and suspense keep you glued to it for hours. I love a good book and read like crazy, and this one is just so well written. I want to read it over and over again. Florence M. Kingsley and the lamplighter crew, Thank You!
