Format:Paperback
This book is simply a great read. Our hero fights on land and sea; there is plenty of action and adventure. The descriptions of the battles are captivating and the story never drags.
In this story, we see burden of command weighing heavily on Bolitho. He's not a hero in the traditional sense. He gets things done, but he is no super-hero. He must, MUST, perform regardless how tired or fatigued he is, the incompetence and rivalries of his subordinates, and a host of other problems. Given that, Bolitho is not only a believable figure, he's one that the reader can relate to.
If you like action and adventure and a story that moves right along, then this is the book (and series) for you. I highly recommend it.

As always Alexander Kent a.k.a. Douglas Reaman, gives a powerful description of war at sea as it was in the hay day of the Royal Navy, despite enforced " reecruitment". Even Horatio Hornblower, always a good read too, pales before mid-shipman / Admiral Bolitho and "Form Line Of Battle" is as good a read as any - and I have read all of them in the paper version. Recommend this to any one who likes their history wrapped up in adventure without straying too far from either the facts or reality.

A first class book, downloaded seamlessly to my Amazon Kindle, (the original one) and I have enjoyed every Alexander Kent word.
