A very good purchase, a compelling read.

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.Read full review
