5.0 out of 5 stars
A good naval romp,
By A Customer
This review is from: Newton Forster or The Merchant Service (Classics of Nautical Fiction) (Paperback)
O.K. O.K. Marryat's books tend to be full of unlikely circumstances and coincidences and sappy, happy endings. On the other hand, his novels are naval action adventures of the Napoleanic age written by a man who was actually a captain in the nineteenth century British navy, albeit somewhat after the Napoleanic Wars. As long as you sit back and enjoy the story, the adventures and misadventures of Newton Forster are just plain fun. And, remember, this book was written more than a century before Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey had even been thought of.
