Reviews"Kent's winning hero is Richard Bolitho, who is squarely in the tradition of Captain Hornblower and Midshipman Easy. All of the heroic elements are here . . . Good, solid stuff that still packs a wallop." -- The New York Times, "All the briny echoes of fictional marine heroes can be heard again in these rip-rousing tales of naval warfare... as the stalwart Bolitho gains the trust of his crew and admiration of his superiors." - The Saturday Evening Post, "All the briny echoes of fictional marine heroes can be heard again in these rip-rousing tales of naval warfare... as the stalwart Bolitho gains the trust of his crew and admiration of his superiors." -- The Saturday Evening Post, "Kent's winning hero is Richard Bolitho, who is squarely in the tradition of Captain Hornblower and Midshipman Easy.

Follow his adventures as he undergoes a severe initiation into the dangerous world of the great sailing warships! 1. Richard Bolitho: Midshipman 1772: a young Richard Bolitho joins the 74-gun Gorgon. Naive and untested, Bolitho must learn the ways of the navy quickly if he is to survive. 2.

Band of Brothers 1774: Bolitho stands on the brink of manhood and takes his examination to begin his true career as a King's Officer. But soon he must test his mettle against vicious smugglers!, Three novels in one! Sixteen-year-old Richard Bolitho joins the British Royal Navy as a young midshipman. Follow his adventures as he undergoes a severe initiation into the dangerous world of the great sailing warships! 1. Richard Bolitho: Midshipman 1772: a young Richard Bolitho joins the 74-gun Gorgon.

Midshipman Bolitho and the Avenger 1773: Bolitho returns home to Cornwall for Christmas, but smuggling, ship wrecking and witchcraft tear apart his once-peaceful community. 3. Band of Brothers 1774: Bolitho stands on the brink of manhood and takes his examination to begin his true career as a Kingís Officer. But soon he must test his mettle against vicious smugglers!, Combining three novellas that cover the early years of Richard Bolitho's service in the Royal Navy--including the latest Bolitho novella Band of Brothers--this omnibus is the new first book in the Richard Bolitho series, taking the place of McBooks's Midshipman Bolitho. All three novellas are packed with trademark Kent descriptions of ships under sail, eighteenth-century sea battles, and the burdens of command in a crowded wooden world bent on warfare.

Outstanding Historical Read
I have read Forrester, O'Brian and a few others in the same vein. GThis is equal to those and in many cases better as it is more human and less pretentious. *****Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
