Just what i wanted

This second John Pearce novel (following "By the mast divided") carries on from and develops the themes of the first. The characters are more fully drawn and an intriguing, and informative, plotline is laden with atmosphere and emotion that put the reader firmly in period of the French revolution. A few minor technical errors might distract those sticklers for accuracy in respect of sail plan, wind and compass direction but these can be forgiven in light of the overall story. Having previously read Donachie's series about the Ludlow brothers I have to say that this is darker, more intense and much better crafted, overall a cracking, intense yarn. Thank you, David
