Product Description
Sam escapes death in Australia when the truth about his false conviction is finally revealed. But on the journey back to England he faces pirates and a terrible storm, before making the longed-for trip back up the River Thames. Finally reunited with his family in Norfolk, Sam realizes how much life at sea has become part of him. So when he hears that Napoleon plans to attack England, he is tempted to join the Navy once more, and finds himself Midshipman on none other than the Victory, preparing for one of the most epic battles in history: Trafalgar.

Battle Fleet,

This review is from: Battle Fleet: The Adventures of Sam Witchall (Adventures/Sam Witchall 3) (Paperback)
This book gives a sound view of the early 19century life, particularly of the way the Royal Navy worked. Life was cheap as far as the lower deck were concerned. Perhaps thats why a rating was still not allowed to touch an officer in 1949 even to waken him from a deep sleep for a watch.

Couldn't put it down,
By Neil Turner (Northamptonshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battle Fleet: The Adventures of Sam Witchall (Hardcover)
This is probably the best book I have ever read. I didn't think it could get any better after Powder monkey and Prison ship but it has. Paul Dowsell is a FANTASTIC author.
