This is an average story, but I was horrified by the lack of proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling. There were so many errors that I finally started keeping notes on them and the story almost became secondary. I am no English teacher, but it seems basic to me to have a proofreader who will correct the author's mistakes. Just a few examples are: "I have nothing to loose", "be making this voyage home with use", "ships lucking in and around", "Doe we have a French flag", "the cutter's cuppers", "smoke to larboard, reveling the French tricolor", "the creek of the gunroom door", "the stern lights shown on the beautiful desk", "but sill hit the sand bar", and my personal favorite, "steeling cows". Throughout the book, "hove too" is used. I can't even touch on the punctuation, which is befitting of a 4th grader. I cannot fathom how this book was published in this condition. Unfortunately I bought the second book of this series (In Pursuit of Honor}at the same time as this one, and have found the same lack of any literary standards in it. If these things don't bother you, then you might enjoy this book, but we should all urge the author to hire a professional to review his books before they are printed.

I enjoy this book. It had a few twist and turns that kept me wanting to read more . I am not usually a sea person . But this book's charactors were interesting . You could see them as you read the book in your minds eye. I will read the other books when they come out to see how all my favorite charactors are doing ..
