Review title: Below C-level Naval Story
Product review: Go read Marryat, Lambdin, or O'Brian if you're looking for great sea stories. This doesn't measure up. Edgemont has no distinguishing characteristics except that he will sacrifice any shred of honor, integrity or moral courage to win his Quaker girlfriend. In fact, his Quaker girlfriend gives up her religious beliefs for him as well, so the whole tale sinks into a post-modern relativist morass disguised as nautical fiction. The characters are shallow, the "action" is thin and predictable, and to spice things up, another author's fictional character makes an appearance.There is nothing to love about Edgemont and I only finished the book out of a seriously misplaced sense of obligation.Any resemblance to to nautical fiction is highly improbable.
