If you've not read any of his historical naval fiction, give yourself a

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?
