It is the first one in the series where his 'career' begins. He was press ganged. The research is excellent, especially where the handling of the ship is concerned. It is a very good story, as are they all so far. Currently reading the sixth book in the series. A very good purchase.

I love stories of the sea and this one is realistic. Gets a bit boring sometimes in descriptions of sea conditions but perhaps that's necessary to give the flavour of the sailor's life. Characters are well drawn and realistic. I intend to buy the next book in the series.
