Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have to admit that, as an Englishman, the American Civil War is something of a mystery to me. Until I read this book, the second in the series, the fact that some of the War was fought around the coast of Florida was a detail completely unknown to me (and even some of my Floridian friends).
So if US history is so alien to me, why did I enjoy this book so much? Quite simply, because Macomber writes with atmosphere. I challenge you all to read this book and deny you didn't feel like you were there. The words of description transpose so easily into the imagination that you can see, hear and even smell the adventures of Captain Peter Wake.
Of particular interest, keenly captured by the author, is the relationship between Wake and his crew - the educated man and the old sea dogs.
Buy this book and sail back in time to experience life aboard the schooner St James and experience the adventures of its Captain and crew. If you don't find your sea legs after this, you probably never will!
