Özet

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. For in January of that year he was promoted from First Lieutenant to become the junior Captain in the Company's Service and given the command of his first ship - the Rapid.

Armed with 10 nine-pounders, the Rapid was a match for any pirate ship that crossed its bows, and in it Captain Merewether was to spend as action-packed and eventful a first year as any ambitious young seafarer could have wished.

Merewether had quick wits and daring to match his ambition. And with mutinies, diplomatic intrigues, and skirmishes with the French to occupy him, he soon found that he needed both qualities as never before.

I was unsure at first but was totally won over by the daring exploits of Captain Merryweather and his gallant crew against a background ofwar at sea with Napoleon and the Dutch in the piratical east

The quality of the writing is very good and the story is thrilling. The narrator gives the performance that the story deserves.

Fast paced

Great story, the main character isn't doctored to fit contemporary sensibilities he's very much a product of his time without being grossly bigoted, having researched it this book was written in the late 60s and the other two throughout the 70s so perhaps that explains it! While the main character has love interests the actual act is left up to the imagination, again to my tastes.

Overall a lovely bit of writing and escapism into the Napoleonic era,

Exactly what I like in a historical novel
