    Chapter 1

    With a ship name like Valiant, how can we go wrong?
  2. You aren't wrong. It originates with that French word, meaning cured pork fat.

    Chapter 77

    This was truly a wonderful odyssey. Thank you, Mark!

    Chapter 76

    Bankers. No one loves bankers. It's galling to leave these plotters alone.

    Chapter 75

    Previously the mysterious Guild was mentioned in passing. I suppose it's time to reveal who these troublemakers are.

    Chapter 74

    George has spent more time on land lately than he has since he was a boy and it's not over. It's time to really rest and recharge.
  7. For a modest man he's acquired even more honors to append to his name. George totally missed Gatling seemed ypset after his foree in Calverts' cabin.

    Chapter 72

    Tallyrand would try to profit on both ends. It's perfect the first ship they encounter is Calverts'.

    Chapter 71

    I'm glad George discovered Eastwyck's problem. He's moved others past it. I'm also happy Calvert and Gatling have reached a truce with Caroline.

    Chapter 70

    George let his self control lapse, which shows his sexual strain more than anything. Now Eastwyck has taken the plunge, will he embrace it or pretend it didn't happen?

    Chapter 69

    I think Winkler is as pissed as Caroline.

    Chapter 68

    Calvert has his post and a ship. It does mean he and George will be apart, but perhaps he's resigned to this.

    Chapter 68

    Kingsdale is no longer the inexperienced and impoverished peer he was, but a confident and wealthy young man. He can buy more pipes.

    Chapter 67

    You'd know the Wilcoxes would be in the thick of this mess. Fortunately, Lady Caroline is more than a match for all of them.

    Chapter 66

    George is making the best of his situation. I'm certain he's doing better than Berry and Thompson.

    Chapter 65

    Calvert was as skillful handling Jervis as Granger would have been. He's learned well.

    Chapter 64

    It's about time Winkler got his own man. He deserves it.

    Chapter 63

    George is having all of his needs well met. Winkler and Jacobs have borrowed a bit of George's luck and are bound for England.
  19. drpaladin

    Chapter 62

    George is making the best of a bad situation using diplomacy and his considerable charm.

    Chapter 61

    Thompson should have availed himself of George's tactical skills. The descriptions of the battle were superb. George now finds himself in a position alien to him, a prisoner.

    Chapter 60

    It was a sad end for such a fine ship and for so many of the brave men who sailed her. Now if they can rescue the others. The French ship would be no match for the San Clarita.

    Chapter 59

    Granger's Maidstone problem has been solved permanently. This would be an auspicious time for Calvert to arrive.
  23. drpaladin

    Chapter 58

    The naval victory is tempered by the French army's success on land, but now cut off from supplies and reinforcements means India is safe. Now George can head toward England.

    Chapter 57

    This was a stunning victory. I can understand why Nelson was bitter about the minimal peerage he received.
  25. If it was in their vocabulary, it would have been said of me also.
