This review is from: Blaze of Glory (Nathanial Drinkwater Series) (Paperback)
Good read so far. Drinkwater gets into various situations due to his connection with intelligence. Baltic mission finds him in Russia out of uniform and spying on Napoleon and the Tzar. Distant waters takes place off northern california, and alaska. Since i knew all the Calif places , made it more interesting. Drinkwater fights both the spanish and russians before sailing for home.
