HMS Belvidera 4. Bridgemont

   (5 reviews)

It's 1795, and George Granger is promoted to Post Captain and takes command of a troubled frigate.

Before reading this story, consider:
1. It contains graphic descriptions of sex.
2. British money was denominated in either Guineas or Pounds. A Guinea was worth about 25-30 shillings, while a Pound was worth about 20 shillings. If coins are used, the reference is in Guineas, otherwise it is in Pounds. A guinea is worth approximately $300 US dollars in 2009, which means a shilling was worth approximately $10.
3. The characters in this story are fictional with the exception of some well-known historical figures. The involvement of those characters is fictional.
4. The story is written with modern day language, as opposed to that used in 18th century England.

I said earlier, I thought this was my favorite of the four, but it seems a lot happened. I feel it was almost two full books, one before Freddie was maimed and one after. I might have to agree that book three was the best but this was close.

 

Really well done, now I'm sorry I slogged through it so fast. There's no more. Well St. Vincent at least is started :)

 

Thanks for this and the others Mark, I really enjoyed these so much.

This is definitely my favorite book of the Bridgemont series. Granger really matures and shows his potential and intelligence, learning from his mistakes and coming up with some truly brilliant plans whenever he is confronted with a situation. I espcially like the way he remembers to reward his officers and men when they deserve it. And I relish every time he has a confrontation with the stupid Wilcoxes. And of course he has a lot of very delicious man to man action too, one of the main attractions of this series. You should be awarded some sort of gay naval knighthood for this awesome tale.
