MARY ANN GWINN, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

"[Grann] has found not just a good but a great story, fraught with duplicity, terror and occasional heroism ... One trick Grann pulls off — again and again — is not showing his hand, and this review honors that accomplishment by not revealing the details of what happens next ... Another Grann specialty is on full display — creating a cast of indelible characters from the dustiest of sources: 18th century ship's logs, surgeons' textbooks, court-martial proceedings. What a fascinating, conflicted lot they are ... The other strength of the Wager's story is that it just gets more and more improbable ... The Wager will keep you in its grip to its head-scratching, improbable end."
