Midshipman Drinkwater is back in the Navy in 1792, appointed to the 12-gun cutter Kestral. Off the French coast, the Kestral becomes involved in the secret and dangerous adventures linked with the rescuing of emigres. Drinkwater plays a vital role in the landing of agents. I love this genre, although I had a hard time with this book. The sailing talk is too technical for me and there is a lot of it, there are many, many pages in which nothing much happens. Still, I think Nathanial Drinkwater has possibilities as a character, so I plan to read a few more books in this series before I make a final decision on Richard Woodman's books. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
