​Length: 406,283

 

Description: It is April, 1797, and England is still celebrating the victory at the Battle of St. Vincent. Sir George Granger is given orders to set off on a voyage to the East Indies, but there are several challenges that await him before he can even sail.

 


Some great story reviews:

 

Miles Long says: Spectacular story in an equally spectacular series. Tip of the hat to you Mark Arbour for your excellent work and thanks to you and your team for bringing it to life.

 

Sandrewn says: Mark, this is by far my favourite story in GA. I hope you continue with Grangers' adventures when the Odyssey comes to an end, as all good thing must. Thank you for the all hours of enjoyment you have given to me and I'm sure the many more than just the 93 who admitted it did.

 

Rolfe45 says: Amazing work, Mr. Arbour! I have thoroughly enjoyed the Bridgemont saga. I truly hope you intend to continue this saga. I'm not sure how I'd survive without the escape which reading the Bridgemont & CAP sagas provides.

 

GWood says: Mark, many thanks to you for your writing and to your editors/beta readers for their efforts, too. We are truly blessed at having your writings on this site. Entertaining, suspenseful, exotic and erotic. Truly looking forward to your next installment (and your continuation of 9.11). Many thanks again.

The whole series is superb reading. It's historical fiction that leaps off the page, drawing us in and taking hold. This particular installment is especially satisfying. If you want to escape, take the voyage with the complicated and masterful George Granger. He and it will not disappoint :) .

The Bridgemont series brought back the pleasures of reading the Hornblower books when I was a kid, but of course there are so many more aspects in this GA story.

I have read all the Bridgemont stories. I loved reading them. Yes it is like Timothy said above a bit like the Hornblower saga.

The Bridgemont series take place in a historical setting, just pre Napoleon till so far.


 

In my opinion you have to do a lot of research work (about shipping, organization of British military, etc at that time) to make that work.

And it is something Mark does. Also his series were updated with new chapters almost weekly, so it was easy to stay in the flow of the stories. :2thumbs:


 

I think he writes very skilfully. You can find almost no errors/typos and I really like the the development of his characters and the way they interact.

So it is no wonder he is also one of my favorite writers here.

 

Mark thanks for posting your stories here. :thankyou:
