Interesting Age of Fighting Sail book that takes you to a new locale, India. Though at peace with the French, they are still fighting them in their Mughal Navy guise. Lively, with enough action to sustain interest. as an ensign, overcomes horrible family history to succeed.
Good story, excellent nautical details and a realistic setting-the Siege of Toulon. John Fury, acting lieutenant , finds himself landing troops, commanding a fort with soldiers and rescuing a fair maiden, French, of course. Moves along and is quite an enjoyable read.
