4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent naval yarn, 19 Sep 2001
By A. Palmer (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ramage's Mutiny (Paperback)
If you enjoy Patrick O'Brian you will probably like Dudley Pope. Ramage is a naval officer in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and this novel concerns an incident in the West Indies. The mutiny in question is not on his ship, but on a vessel that is delivered to the Spanish by the mutineers (Pope clearly makes the point that mutiny may have been the only way to deal with a mad or evil Captain). Ramage has to undertake the seemingly impossible task of recapturing the vessel.

Pope is good with regard to his understanding of naval warfare of the period, but his main character lacks a foil, and in this respect O'Brian has the advantage in the construction of his novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun and adventure!, 9 Jan 2008
By Dr J (Salem, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ramage's Mutiny (Lord Ramage novels) (Paperback)
In this particular book, we find Ramage sailing around the Caribbean. He's given the task of retrieving a ship that mutineers have given over to the Spanish. One captain has already failed. The task is impossible. Can Ramage do it? Of course.

Ramage is a true hero in the old style tradition. You know he will succeed; the joy in these books is reading HOW he will succeed. Rarely is the answer obvious, so his plans are almost always a surprise.
I still think this series would have made (or make) a better TV or movie series than Hornblower. There's a lot of action and adventure here.

1.0 out of 5 stars hard work, 8 Nov 2008
By E. Martin (Romford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ramage's Mutiny (Paperback)
Ive tried hard with this series having read the previous books however now is the time to give up. Looking at a review for the next book this view is obviously shared by others. Ramage sets out on an impossible mission to enter a port and cut out a ship. The port is protected by no less than three forts. This impossible mission is accomplished without a hitch, ship captured, two forts destroyed, loads of prisoners taken with hardly any losses to the British and just by luck on the return journey just happens to bump into a treasure ship carrying a vast quantity of emeralds and pearls. Just unrealistic!. A couple of the fighting scenes are well presented but you have to wade through large amounts of text where nothing happens but routine activity. he just takes too long to develop a story.
