This is a strange mix of technology and antiquated terminology. The mode of transportation is interstellar but cutlasses and four shot pistols appear to be the hand weapons of choice. The overall feel is Horatio Hornblower meets Hans Solo.
This was an entertaining book regardless of the mixed
messages sent by language and technology.
Liam is an accomplished XO who is wondering why he isn’t yet a captain. Saddled with aristocratic officers, himself a
minor noble, Liam chafes at their incompetence.
Tasked with a secret mission and a new captain, Liam and crew
become privateers.
Fun read.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
