It is 1781, and the British-held American port of Yorktown on the Chesapeake Bay is under siege. Pounded by the American colonists on land and the deadly warships of their French allies at sea, the once proud city is in flames and near ruin. But on the horizon, the King's own fleet of heavily armed frigates heads full sail to blast through France's blockade. Aboard His Majesty's swift flagship DESPERATE, midshipman Alan Lewrie quickly sets his gunners to their lethal work, firing rapid broadsides of 24 pound shot at the enemy vessels. Cannon fire lights up the death-filled night as the fate of the King's Colonies hangs on the bravery of one young midshipman leading his ships into the fiery jaws of battle.
"Jack Aubrey, Stephen Maturin, Horatio Hornblower, and now Alan Lewrie - the four new musketeers." (Amazon.com)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a great historical novel that shows what that the revolution was also a civil war. There are the Americans who are left in the wake of a victory by the founding fathers. These people lost all that brought them to America for in the first place.What other book might you compare The French Admiral to and why?
Much like Bernard Cornwell Sharpe character. Great battle scenes. The authors ability to have us understand that a fatal wound was anything within the torso.Which scene was your favorite?
The final battle scene on land.If you could rename The French Admiral, what would you call it?
