The Mauritius Command by Patrick O'Brian
3.0
3.25 stars
Another quite good early entry in the Aubrey/Maturin series. There is virtually no love stuff in this one, so if you like Diana Villiers, you'll be disappointed.
There IS a lot of military maneuvering, both on land and on sea, thus useful to have a reference book or Google Maps open as you read.
If you like naval action and military history (PO tells us in the foreword that the actions described here are drawn straight from history with only the names changed), you'll like this one.
