"This is book 23 in a series about the fictional character Richard Bolitho in the British navy. This book takes place during the time Napolean was imprisoned on Elba. The main character is not portrayed as perfect, and is not an action hero.
The ending of the book, as is in the author's style sets up the next book. The author first pages in the next book of the series picks up right after the end of the previous book. The story line is progressive building on all the previous books in the series.
This book was a good read for relaxation. I was not impressed with the last portion of the book, but it was not out of character for the author or the story line.
Even though there are a lot of books in the series (this was number 23) I recommend reading the books in order. They are not long books as compared to many being published today, but they do tell a good story set in naval warfare during the last 170os to the early 1800s."
"I am huge fan of Age of sails book and I consume them with vigour and enthusiasm of starving person who was just released from dungeon. I do not read the Bolitho saga in proper order, I am simply taking the books as I get my grasp on them. The number 23 is Bolitho slaughter...yes the main character is gona die and his life is recapitulated in the manner that you want to strangle the brave sir Richard with your own hands and you practically celebrate his death. Mr Kent has a great talent for despatching his characters on the other side in the most gruesome manner or he makes reader to wish the most horrid way of dying for poor unsuspecting character. This book is good summary of previous 23 and it closes whole saga for Richard and open it for Adam Bolitho. Mr Kent simply take new victim in his paws. I will sell this book as soon as possible in order to buy another volume of Bolitho saga."
