In the Iron Age of Ships

I have read a number of the wooden ship sagas and this is my second in the Iron Ships Age, Volume I of the series being the first. The books stand alone unlike some of the others such as Kent who absolutely kept phrases, even paragraphs from one book to the next. The feel of the times, the men and the ships is authentic but the endings of both of Fullerton's books left me a little flat. I recommend the series to anyone wanting a feel for the men, ships and battles of WWI.

A thrilling tale of a daring and costly raid

Mr. Fullerton takes the reader from the pitching decks of the Royal Navy ships during WWI to the bloody raid on Zeebrugge in 1918, on St. George's Day. His research is flawless and his characters are most entertaining, as is the gripping action and plot. Outstanding action scenes and the violent German resistance makes one appreciate what was done by the British during this heroic action. Check it out.
