love historical naval fiction? feast your ears
Loved it, well writen, classy and enlighteing! 16th century, warts and all tale of sailing in those days. Just what it says on the tin.

Abysmal story poorly read
Flat characters, weak bitty story. Bought into Audible edition, which is worse. Disappointment all round.
