Once again, Stockwin as delivered an eminently readable novel. As always, he gives insights to life in the early 19th century and how - even back then - politics directed the lives and destinies of those chosen to fight and implement the policies directed by those who would not have to shed blood. Life on and off seafaring vessels is described in a manner that aids in envisioning the pleasures and rigors. Scenes of battle burn behind the eyelids of those reading the words. Three and a half stars!
