Great character development, but light on action March 24, 2000
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is the first book I have read by Mr. Woodman and, for the most part, I was impressed. This book is very serious and ambitious for a sea novel. Some serious philosophical ideas are presented, as Drinkwater tries to resolve these issues in his mind. I particularly liked how Mr. Woodman informs the reader on the military, political and economic situation in England and America during the War of 1812. The plot of the novel moves along fairly quickly, however, with only brief time-outs for the serious ideas and the history lesson. The quality of Mr. Woodman's writing is very high, unlike some other writers I have read in this genre. I have only one complaint, and that is the lack of action. There are not many battle scenes in this book and they are not described in very much detail. Also, as an American, it is impossible to root for the English in this war. Still, on the whole I was impressed and I hope the rest of this series will be reprinted.
