Title: A distinct lack of action.
Product review: This book is terrible. The author spends a great deal of time and pages in unnecessary character development. The reader's expectation is for a novel that describes naval warfare of the period in the genre of Hornblower. The action, as such, is confined to 24 pages and all this occurs at the end of the novel. There are references to other actions but these occur in other books so the reader is encouraged to make a risky purchase. The novel does describe the history of the time and the interactions between the US, Britain and France. The sad thing is that with such a wealth of possibilities, the author does not take advantage of them.
