Customer Reviews

A darker view of the series hero.

This series of naval adventure novels set during the American Revolution continues to develop. In the earlier two books, Captain Geoffrey Frost was almost heroic to a fault; in this book, he becomes a somewhat darker, more complex character with a streak of violence in him. Most of these naval series seem to have a few volumes that are set on land; much of this story involves Frost's efforts to transport some supplies overland from New England to Washington's troops in Pennsylvania. Perhaps it's because Frost is now "out of his element," but he comes across as a more interesting, and somewhat more flawed, person. It's a nice bit of character development for an exciting series.
