Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-11 00:00:00 Cathy Gerlitz It is amazing to me that Douglas Reeman (Alexander Kent) can keep on coming up with exciting plots following the career of British Naval Officer Richard Bolitho. Starting as a midshipman in the early 1770 to a Rear Admiral in 1801, fighting first the Americans and now the French, he shows how excellent a sea officer and tactician he is. Napoleon has been building a fleet of small ships that were to ferry French troops to England and Bolitho is sent to destroy them. You will have to read the series to find out what happens. 11 more books in the series to go. I will hate to finish it but when I do I will have read all of the 69 books of fiction written by Douglas Reeman.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-15 00:00:00 Paul Locke The most interesting thing for me was discovering how many words in the English language I do not know - all sorts of terms for bits of ship or rigging that I have never come across before - I felt that perhaps I should read this book with a dictionary. It was the first novel by Alexander Kent that I have read, and it did not wow me,grip me and make me want to rush and find all the other Richar Bolitho stories. I remained mildly interested in him, his life and times, and will probably never read another of his adventures.
