With this fast-paced launch of a new series, Broos Campbell offers a fresh perspective on the seafaring novel--a Napoleonic-era saga with an American, not English protagonist. In the last days of 1799, 17-year-old midshipman Matty Graves sails out of Baltimore aboard the USS Rattle-Snake of the fledgling U. S. Navy, bound for the strife-torn West Indian island of Santo Domingo. As the Rattle-Snakes fend off a press-minded Royal Navy frigate and savage island picaroons, trouble brews between Captain Trimble, a genial lush who is also Matty's cousin, and wily, acerbic First Lieutenant Peter Wickett, ferociously competent and ripe for his own command. But will he risk mutiny to get it? Campbell's period dialogue is expressive, succinct, and often damned funny. His characters are well-developed, he writes about shipboard life with authority, and he understands that history is as often made by weakness and blind, dumb chance as stout-hearted heroics. As for Matty, he's a complex, resourceful young fellow with a dry wit who'll be excellent company as the series progresses.
