Title: Well done! But not a book for everyone
Review: If you know Bernard Cornwell and Richard Sharpe, and if you know Patrick O'Brian and James Aubrey, then you'll really like and appreciate this book. If you quickly consume Clancy books, you'll like this book. But, if you're not comfortable making sense out of old dialect and historical references, then stay away.Poyer's skills have grown in such interesting ways. His first books were technothrillers with a tiresome "crazy captain" theme. (Gimme a break, Dave!) But he has expanded in awesome style. For the right folks, "Fire on the Water" is a great read!
