This is the first of the “Fighting Anthonys” books by Michael Aye.
Whilst not a book for the Naval purist by any means, it is interesting in that it covers the earlier part of our period from the French and Indian wars through the American Revolution, all done from the British point of view by an American author. If you can pass over some of the linguistic anomalies which would not have been known as British and a few anachronisms the nine book series which I have just completed by reading Andalucía, set mainly in the Pacific, makes a jolly good pot boiler series, if read somewhat tongue in cheek.
Anyway for what it’s worth I enjoyed it, as I'm now finding new sea adventures rather hard to come by.
