I can't remember when I last enjoyed a novel so much.I was gripped by the pacing of the plot, the descriptive battle scenes and the characterization. I reached the stage (rare for me) of a cinematic reading experience.
I am sure that to appreciate this you'll need to be interested in the Napoleonic naval genre. If you are, this is a real treat.
