Spilman said A fresh take on nautical adventure fiction. Alaric Bond's Jackass Frigate is comfortable and familiar while managing to be fresh and distinctive at the same time, not an easy trick to pull off.

Jackass Friga. "Being a fan of O"Brian's "Jack Aubrey" series I always" according to Wayne Sieloff. Being a fan of O"Brian's "Jack Aubrey" series I always approach a new book on the British Navy in the Napoleonic war with caution. Using O'Brian's work as a bench mark I found this very enjoyable. I'll give the "Fighting Sail" series a try.
