Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sails
Review: This is the fist book of a series. So I shall evaluate it as such.

I liked that the author gave the caliber, bore, weight and barrel length of the British naval guns. (This information is readily available in most books on the subject). But I am a little bit peeved that he forgot to give the same information on the artillery for the French and Spanish navies. Though this may be in the next book of the series. At the same time I am a little bit bemused that he forgot the name for the long barreled musket used by the french, F 1, shown on page 31. It is called a Buccanneer.

I shall keep my full judgement until after I have seen the entire series.
