From "The Journal of the American Great War Society" (review of "Superior Force")
"Fine as Miller’s account is of the events at sea, the book’s meat lies in the allegation in the subtitle, which advances a contention so novel that revisionistic is too mild a term for it. This is that three highly-placed individuals in Athens connived, directly or indirectly, to abet the escape … Miller’s version of events seems confirmed by his highly impressive research in primary sources … a valuable contribution to Great War naval literature."

From "The United States Naval Institute Proceedings" (review of "Superior Force")

"Besides the new information on the conspiracy, this is a comprehensive account of the whole affair, encompassing the political, diplomatic, and naval implications and providing a great deal of insight into the world-shattering events of World War I."

From "The Gallipolian" (review of "Superior Force")

"Geoffrey Miller, whose research for his trilogy has been monumental, reveals a tale even more fascinating than previously imagined. Nowhere more so than his revelations concerning the role played by Rear-Admiral Mark Kerr, Head of the British Naval Mission to Greece … This is a work of fine scholarship …"
