3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty Good Adventure Story,
By J.Flood (Dublin,Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corsair (Paperback)
Corsair is set in the 17th century. Seventeen year old, Hector Lynch and his fifteen year old sister, Elizabeth are captured, along with a number of other people, when Barbary Pirates attack their small village on the southern coast of Ireland. The story revolves around Hector, and the people he meets, in his attempts to be reunited with his sister.
I thought this book was a fairly enjoyable novel. A big plus is that the author has clearly researched his history of the period. The customs, dress and the people of the era are well described. There is a few good action scenes as well, both on land and sea. Two things stop me giving this novel more than three stars, though. The character development was okay, but not fantastic, and the ending was a bit of an anti-climax.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Corsair (Hardcover)
I'm always looking for new historical adventure fiction authors. Tim Severin is a fine diversion while I wait for the next Wilbur Smith novel.
