If you've not read any of his historical naval fiction, give yourself a
treat and do so. He also wrote the "Richard Bolitho" series under the name
Alexander Kent. That was a super series. I'm currently reading his 'Royal
Marines Saga', a series of five. Good books.

Have you read "Master Mariner" by Nicholas Monsarrat?

Do it if you haven't - it's a great bunch of sea stories.

I won't spoil the plot for you, but it's unique.

Is that this set? A series of four?

FIC MON 1978
The master mariner : running proud
Monsarrat, Nicholas, 1910-



#2 FIC MON 1973
The kappillan of Malta
Monsarrat, Nicholas, 1910-



#3 FIC MON 1968
Richer than all his tribe
Monsarrat, Nicholas, 1910-



#4 FIC MON 1951
The cruel sea
Monsarrat, Nicholas, 1910-

No - it's a standalone book. You will enjoy it - historical in nature
which was Monsarrat's forte.

Maybe it's the last of these four. I'll give them a shot as soon as I
finish the Reeman collection. Thanks for the tip.
