Master and Commander 3. Bridgemont

   (4 reviews)

It is 1794, and George Granger takes command of his first ship.

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.

Mark,

 

you said this was your favorite so far, did you mean of the first three or the first four? Meaning will I not like the next one as much as this one?

 

Either way, this was really well done. Even the gratuitous sex was a bit toned down - just a bit :P The mix between historical data, nautical realism and character interaction was amazing for how seamless it was and for the smooth transitions. The characters felt so real that it's almost as if they were.

 

Fox seems a bit of a character - almost like a Shakespearean character who appears one or twice to dispense some nugget of information vital to the play but is otherwise a mere tool [and fox seems a tool as well as a 'tool'.]

 

Well Book Four doth beckon but I have a few other things to read first and to work on. Thanks for an enjoyable read.

 

Andy
