    Default The Reaper.

    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.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Thank you for the heads up on that one. I am reading the Alexander Clay series at the moment by Philip K Allan. It seems we can never get enough Napoleonic tales to read.

    I also enjoyed those Gary.
    If my luck runs out I may just have to revisit those.
    They kept me going whilst I was on Jury service, during all those hours waiting for a case to serve on some years ago.
