The King's Coat (Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures (Paperback))

Rating:
Summary: Good Wooden Ships/Iron Men fun
Review: This is nowhere in the literary league of Patrick O'Brian, but seem pretty well researched. The characters are likable and fun, full of weaknesses as well as strengths. The bawdiness of the book is a real pleasure--this were real people having a wild time. The swearing is incredibly creative as well, a nice change from similar books which may say "he cursed like a sailor". The sounds like the way people might really have talked. Great fun.
