Review title: Heavy weather sailing sets high water mark in series
Product review: Lash yourself to your reading chair and let Lieutenant Lord Ramage steer you through the most intense hurricane you'll experience in scores of Atlantic crossings. The description is so long and detailed that it's reminiscent of Patrick O'Brian (Aubrey/Maturin).The book's ostensibly a mystery. And it's a taut one involving the obvious Caribbean bounty - pirate treasure. There's more characterization of Ramage in this book than in some of the previous ones, but it's more C.S. Forester (Hornblower) than O'Brian, despite the magnitude of Ramage's logistical and management nightmares. If you like wilful British sailors solving maritime mysteries, you could do worse than David Donachie's Privateersman series.
