Good addition to the series

If you like the Bolitho series this is a good addition. This is the first addition to the series after the death of Sir Richard and the series starts to focus on Adam Bolitho and his exploits. I guess an admiral's experiences aren't the stuff of swashbuckling fiction. It's a decent read.
