Nicely done !

This book in the new Rennie-Hayter series, set in 1786 kept me entertained throughout the whole book. I am a big fan of nautical fiction set in the age-of-sail - and I was not disappointed. Rennie, a kind of hot-headed Captain and his more sensible and "calm" 1st Lt. Hayter make a great team, as officers and as friends on their dreadful journey into the Pacific. I already bought the next 2 books in the series and I will also purchase the the 4th book ("The Hawk"). Recommended !
