January 1782, Portsmouth. His Britannic Majesty's frigate Phalarope is ordered to the assistance of the hard-pressed squadrons in the Caribbean. Aboard is her new commander - Richard Bolitho.

To all appearances the Phalarope is everything a young captain could wish for. But beneath the surface she is a deeply unhappy ship - her wardroom torn by petty greed and ambition, her deckhands driven to near mutiny by senseless ill treatment.

Just what a salty old boatswain mate needed. Great series, can’t wait to hear the rest.

I can smell the salt.

The action moved right along
Held my interest from the start
I acknowledge it’s fiction but it seems to have been well researched to give a fair account of what it would have been like
Only issue I was sorry that Stockdale was killed

Great story

Love all of the Bolitho series. Anyone who enjoys the Hornblower stories will surely enjoy these.

Another great sea story

Hooray !!
Four more British Navy novels in the tradition of Patrick O'Brian/Jack Aubrey and Horatio Hornblower.They are in time sequence:To Glory We Steer[1782],
The Flag Captain[1797],Success to The Brave[1802] and Colours Aloft[1803]
Google Wik-apedia for a complete list.
My only complaint is that these books were released by Audible in December 2012 and I had to research and find out on my own when they had been released.I must have over 20 of this genre .

Alexander Kent is in what you might think of as in he Big three of British Sea novel authors [with the two aforementioned].Like the other two he tells a good story that culminates in grand finale fashion..
His novels do have more battle action but there are still plenty of ongoing characters and continuations of story threads from book to book.The Aubrey and Hornblower arn't better,All three have there own personalities with the bond of common subject matter.
Michael Jayston is an excellent narrator.With his character accent/dialogue voice characterizations you truly experience the difference between reading a good book and hearing a good story.Personally I like hearing about the daily life activities and experiences
of shipboard life as much as the "Battle narratives'.
While this is a series,I THINK YOU CAN ENJOY ANY BOOK BY ITSELF IN ANY ORDER.[It's something like hearing stories about your parents when they were young].
I don't see how anyone who likes a good story would not enjoy this series.
Try one,anyone in the series will do..To Glory We Steer won't disappoint.

Steer your way to this one.

Narrator has very expressive and understandable presentation. Plot had intrigue, a bit of a who done it immersed in battles and naval politics.

Great plot, authentic portrayal of 18th c. navy.

I’m going through the Bolitho books in order. This one was a cut above the first 6, which I enjoyed. Really on every way. People keep dying though..

Best in the series so far!

It's not often these days that I find a book that I can't put down... the story is that exciting in that you can't wait to see what unfolds in the next chapter. So I was up till 2 AM last night before I heard the last word of the epilogue. Onwards to the next tale!

Great Story, Great Writing, Great Narration
