Great Plots
While it is difficult to keep up with all the characters the author is one of the best I've read in innovative plot changes. Many text misprints such as calling his wife Dora when her name is Dorothy I put that down to conversion to Kindle.
He certainly knows his history and British naval history particularly and I've really enjoyed the insight into naval bureaucracy. Exciting books and quick reads. One becomes engaged with the characters.

Good Read
Entertaining book about the naval Captain Mullins and his exploits. Naval battles are dealt with in such a way as to make them flow well, without them being tedious. I have enjoyed every book in this series.

Good story
This book was written more like a report than as a work of fiction.
It held my interest but was rather dull reading.
