Captain Craven, the protagonist, is somewhat of a cross between Flashman and Richard Sharpe. Unfortunately, this novel falls inadequately short of either one of the well-loved titles. Descriptions of the setting and the overall plot is mediocre, save for that of various sword fights. The dialogue between class-conscious British during the Regency Era sounds too modern or a poor attempt at what they may have sounded like. Worst of all the narrator makes the dialogue even more cringing. Had Patrick Tull been alive and lent his talent, it would have made even this sophomoric attempt mildly entertaining.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
