The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson

5.0

A very worthy sequel to the extraordinary first volume. The tone of this book is rather different; where the first book had at its heart a mystery--Octavian's identity--that was only slowly revealed, here the only mysteries are those common to any war: who will live and who die. However, as a unique window into both the American Revolution and the nature of humanity, it succeeds as brilliantly as its prequel.
