The Naval Service of the Honorable East India Company, popularly known as the Bombay Marine, operated in romantic areas in perilous times. From the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea, from Calcutta to Canton, the Company ships were famous for their speed and daring. The "Bombay Buccaneers" who sailed them were the stuff of legend. For Percival Merewether, 1806 would be a year to remember.

could be better
this book would be better with another narrator.
the reason I have bought another book and will probably buy the whole series is, that Dudley Pope is in my opinion a great author in the Ramage and York series

A good book on the parr with Stockwins Thomas Kydd
If you could sum up Ramage in three words, what would they be?
Napoleonic naval warfare
What other book might you compare Ramage to, and why?
Julian Stockwins Thomas Kydd series, they are written in the same era and similar situational placing, Hornblower characters, which I like.
What does Steven Crossley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He has reasonable characterisation and good narration inflections for the different situations almost on a parr with Christian Rodska and that is a compliment.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Hornblower returns
