Publisher Description
The scene is Gibraltar, 1793. The gathering might of revolutionary France prepares to engulf Europe in another bloody war. As in the past, Britain will stand or fall by the fighting power of her fleet. For Richard Bolitho, the renewal of hostilities means a fresh command and the chance of action.

Fine seafaring stuff
It's equal to the Aubrey/Maturin novels of O'Brien in quality, but there's a much stronger focus on the internal world of Bolitho. So from the perspective of the trials and challenges of captaining a ship of the line, this is a fantastic read. The technical seamanship is good too, and the battle descriptions excellent. A bit pricy though.
