An Eye Of The Fleet (2001)

About book An Eye Of The Fleet (2001)

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Been wanting to read a similar series after finishing O'Brian and this filled the need. A fourteen book series by Richard Woodman and in this book we are introduced to his character Nathaniel Drinkwater. It's October 1779 and Daniel is a young midshipman on HMS Cyclops, a 36-gun frigate captained by Hope, a veteran of the Seven Years War.Nathaniel encounters typical midshipman events and deals with a bully of his group all the while attempting to learn his duty and do the right thing both as a gentleman (that he aspires to be) and as a human being.Quite a lot happens in a short 185 pages as we even reach Yorktown by the end of this book, so without looking ahead I am curious where the next 13 go.This will probably end up having me reread O'Brian or perhaps take a dip in Forester as I have never read the Hornblower series somehow.
