Title: Do-we hafta read this stuff?
Product review: Clearly a quickie knock-off on the Patrick O'Brian series, about the only thing these books seem to have going for them is that the "hero" is so frightfully obnoxious the reader keeps hoping Alan "Lurid" Lewrie will get his just rewards. Literally stuck on an island will little choice in reading material, I'll admit to reading two in the series...the second (A King's Commander) in the hopes that something would rattle the prick's marbles sufficiently to make him semi-interesting. Don't bother with this garbage; get the master in historical naval fiction, Mr. O'Brian.
