Honour This Day,

This review is from: Colours Aloft! (The Bolitho Novels) (Volume 16) (Paperback)
Slighter darker and more cutting than the previous Bolitho novels. I liked the combination of character development and sea battles that this goes through. Better than average Bolitho read.

Another great book in the Bolitho series. A must-read for any fan of historical naval fiction, but start at the beginning! Twenty-seven books in the series, all very entetaining novels!

This review is from: Colours Aloft! (The Bolitho Novels) (Volume 16) (Paperback)
I had not heard of Alexander Kent until I complained at a book store that they had no copies of Patrick O'Brian's books. The owner said, "Have you read any of Alexander Kent?" I had not, and that began a wonderful new adventure. Kent writes naval stories about the same historical time period as O'Brian, but Kent often has more action scenes, which I thoroughly enjoy. If you like O'Brian, you will love Kent.
