This was a good series. Unfortunately the author died after the third book. The Hoare Cycle continues. He gets command of the Age of Fighting Sail equivalent of a spy ship with a woman sailing master who is also a crypto-analyst. Unfortunately, sailing skills are not a requirement for assignment to this vessel, excepting their rather small first lieutenant who has an outsized voice which compensates, both, for his diminished stature and Hoare's gunshot damaged larynx, Villains, dukes, street thugs and navy bureaucrats, abound for Hoare to thwart as he routs the wretches and foils the plot to overthrow the legal but mad King of England aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série
The second of a series of historical mysteries featuring Batholomeu Hoare, officer in His Majesty's Royal Navy during the reign of George III. Hoare is charged with finding the murderer of his Majesty's captains and uncovers an egregious conspiracy of theft and violence. Resurrected once again is the colorful Miss Jane Austen, as well as other delightful characters also featured in the first novel in this promising new series. "With its witty wordplay and attention to the nuances of British society, Perkins's droll telling of this rowdy and rollicking adventure takes a page out of Austen's work." - Publishers Weekly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
