It is the story of a young officer's rise to command a frigate before the Revolutionary War. Written in the first person, it is filled with details of working the ship: finding positions and headings, hauling and trimming the yards and maneuvering to get the weather gauge on your enemy. I love this salty stuff. Fortunately I have a dictionary of nautical terms on my Kindle. I needed it. There is lots of swashbuckling adventure, nasty bad guys, and close calls. No sex. Not for everybody, perhaps, but I dug it.Does anybody know if this is the source for the Disney movie? I did not recognize any of the characters.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good read By K. Dudley I read this just after "Treasure Island" because I wanted 'more' piracy. This book did not dissapoint. I looked forward to reading my daily chapter (or two or three). One great feature is the author doesnt mingle in boring fluff. Great read if you are either interested in the "salty jargon" or don't mind what's happening to the ship. For its time there isnt overt racism, mostly character casts, and very little of it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun read, with some interesting historical details about pre-1600 naval gear By VoxS This is a nice, mindless read in the tradition of British hero-pirates beating up on their blood enemies, the Spanish. Despite the fact that it uses -- maybe even invented, given that it was written over 100 years ago -- all of the usual pirate cliches (with the exception of rescue of a beautiful damsel in distress/captivity, it makes a fun read. It's a little unusal in that the pirating (sp?) that goes on is all pre-1600, so that some of the descriptive material is historically significant and information -- e.g., the reader is reminded that arquebuses were the shoulder-fired weapons of that age, using a piece of lit slow-fuse to ignite the powder and fire the weapon, and also provided the distinction between the early-style ship designs like the caravel (with top-heavy fore- and aft-castles) and later, more advanced designs with lower centers-of-gravity and better sea-keeping characteristics.
