Book 1: Warship Poseidon
"A robust story of a young lad in the British navy during the Nelson years. A thorough insight and beautiful portrait of those days under wind blown sails and the creak of wooden hulls. Peter Greene has created a story that shines from every page. An excellent book. He truly nails an insight of nineteenth century sailing ships and their crews."
- Clive Cussler "Call to Adventure! Only those who are thirsty for seafaring battles and a hunt for ancient treasure need apply. A solid first-in-series for all ages that is impossible to put down!"
- Chanticleer Reviews 5 Star Best Book "A heartwarming tale of a boy essentially orphaned in search of his father, the novel never ceases to entertain. Greene's swashbuckling tale of high-seas adventure is pure, uncomplicated fun!" - Kirkus Reviews
"I really enjoyed this book! It is full of action, adventure, treasure, and mystery....what else could you ask for? I loved Mr. Greene's writing style, and got hooked from the beginning. I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters, and thought the character development was very good. I liked Jonathan, Sean, the Captain, and Mr. Harrison. This book put me right in the Carribean, in London, and in France. I could just about feel the surf on my face. And, it's clean, which I love."
- Readathon blogspot "Equal parts saltwater and page-turning fun, Warship Poseidon is heir to traditions of Rudyard Kipling and Robert Louis Stephenson. Young adult adventure has a new master, and his name is Peter Greene.
- Jeff Edwards, award winning author, NavyThriller.com Great Naval Adventure! Enjoyable, well-researched, and memorable. I won't soon forget young Jonathan Moore and his exciting adventures serving the Royal Navy against Napoleon's France. - John R. Monteith, author of the award-winning "Rogue Fortress" series.

Book 2: Castle of Fire
"Chock-full of adventurous fun, Greene seamlessly weaves together several dynamic story lines—pirates, a stowaway, attempted murder and the dreaded French Navy—creating a rich, complex world for readers to enjoy. Each thread is well-developed and works to further the story to a thrilling, fiery climax. It’s driven by an eclectic, well-drawn cast of characters. Joining the crew is the irrepressible Miss Delain Dowdeswell, whose spunk and wit will appeal to young female readers. A spirited tale of high-seas adventure that will leave readers both young and old anxiously waiting for more."
- Kirkus Reviews "All aboard! Jonathan Moore is at it again in this action-packed, pirate-filled sea adventure for all ages. Highly Recommended. Delain is a delightful, resourceful young woman who manages to be at the center of everything that happens. When the trio of Jonathan, Delain, and Sean discover the ancient “Castle of Fire” and its secrets will have readers holding their breaths! Peter Greene has done it again—another well-penned, colorful, action-packed tale to be read for pure pleasure. "
- Chanticleer Reviews 5 Star Best Book Book 3: Paladin's War
"Greene has produced another page-turner here, filling the seas with gunfire and knife fights, and London’s streets with a network of spies and traitors hidden in tea parties and foxhunts. He deftly alternates scenes of maritime and land-based exploits, creating a perfect mix of grisly nautical violence, urban skullduggery, and gentle takedowns of British high society. Delain is a delightful character who’s smart, funny, and independent; Jonathan and Sean, meanwhile, are heroes of the first order—tenderhearted, ingenious, and fierce in battle. Greene’s fluid prose ably handles the extensive nautical terminology, making it easily understandable, and the dialogue reflects both the pretension and the wit of the period.An exciting, satisfying historical novel with a touch of poignancy."
- Kirkus Reviews "This book was such fun to read. Greene paints not only the scenes in London but those on the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and even the Black Sea with vivid color and action. The magic of living in 19th century England comes to life in the early chapters of Peter Greene’s delightful, but also exciting, story"
