A pleasant naval adventure, lacking in excitement.,
By
This review is from: Admiral (Paperback)
Dudley Pope has written several naval adventures. _Admiral_ is one in a series about Ned Yorke, an English Royalist in the West Indies during the Cromwell's Protectorate.With Cromwell's death, Ned turns from a rebel to a privateer. Attacking the Spanish with his beautiful lover and buccaneer allies, Ned shows his skills as a commander against a background of tropical nature, sailing, treacherous politics and dangerous but declining Spanish Empire. The characters are fairly likable, but there are no interesting villains, and few true challenges, which make the successes in the story less than exciting. The overall lack of suspense, and lack of a motivating cause on the part of the heroes (other than love of excitement and need for money) prevents this book from rising above a mild entertainment.
