Thirteenth in the series, not quite the best. - By: , 07 May 2001
As the series continues (this is the 13th of 18 books) the time period which each book covers reduces, which has the effect of slowing down the action. More of the book is devoted to the interplay of personalities & less with the description of naval engagements. Also, there is an amount of quotation of contemporary poetry & sea shanty, which whilst no doubt authentic does sometimes appear like padding.
