Couldn't get through it ( ) My wife picked this up for me used, which explains why it's the first book by Kent I've read. The back cover, at the bottom, says 'the Bolitho novels: 19' Which explains a lot. As a standalone novel, it had threads that were difficult to follow, as they clearly depended upon earlier books. In this novel, Sir Richard is a Vice-Admiral, and he has to preside over a court-martial of one of his friends who survives almost certain conviction due to political scheming on the part of others. After that, Sir Richard is shipwrecked and presumed lost (incorrectly) and then he is sent to fight the French in the Caribbean with insufficient forces, mirroring the events leading to his friend's court-martial. But, due to timely reinforcements, the British win anyway. It was OK as a standalone, but I'm sure I'd have liked it much better if I'd read the preceding 18 novels! näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
