Gradually, Drinkwater matures into a capable and self-assured sailor. As he contends with enemy forces, the tyranny of the CYCLOPS's midshipman, and the stark contrast between the comfort of home life and the brutality of naval service, he finds strength and sustenance in the love of his beloved Elizabeth.]]> 88630 3.80 81 11 1981 1808237 0446604631 9780446604635 0 <![CDATA[A Brig of War]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188630422m/1808237.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188630422s/1808237.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1808237.A_Brig_of_War 4.00 6 A Brig of War, Nathaniel Drinkwater is promoted lieutenant of the brig Hellebore. He finds routine convoy escort duties end abruptly when Admiral Nelson, pursuing the French fleet to Egypt, sends Hellebore to the Red Sea with an urgent warning to the British squadron there. However, Nelson's apprehensions over French ambitions in the East are more than justified. Edouard Santhonax, Drinkwater's old enemy, is already preparing for a French descent on India.

The hunt for this elusive Frenchman and his frigate is combined with British naval operations on the flank of Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. It is during the attack on Kosseir that Drinkwater is left for dead. His escape and the subsequent desperate attack on Santhonax leads to a still more dangerous situation under Augustus Morris, former tyrant of the midshipmen's berth on HMS Cyclops.

Drinkwater's fight to bring a half-armed ship safely to the Cape of Good Hope is beset with personal enmity, the activity of the French and the violence of the sea.

The notorious mutiny on the Bounty in 1787 has been elevated to iconic status by Hollywood, yet Richard Woodman describes it here as a mere “pup” among mutinies. Despite the usual portrayal, Captain Bligh was neither tyrant nor sadist—whereas Pigot of the Hermione was both, and his crew was probably justified in throwing him overboard. Woodman brings a seaman’s perspective to this compelling history, which stretches from Magellan’s successful handling of an uprising that took place on his great voyage of discovery in 1519, to the “sordid crimes” that mutinies had become by the end of the Second World War.</div>]]> 88630 3.80 81 11 2005 2343422 0747402450 9780747402459 0 <![CDATA[IN DISTANT WATERS (NATHANIEL DRINKWATER SERIES)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2343422.IN_DISTANT_WATERS 4.33 3 Despite this, Drinkwater captures a Spanish frigate and meets the stunning Do-a Ana Maria, daughter of the Commandante of San Francisco. But, having disturbed a hornet's nest of colonial intrigue, Drinkwater finds that the Spanish are eager to humiliate him and the Royal Navy. Moreover, a Russian battle-ship lurks somewhere offshore, awaiting Tsar Alexander's dark plans. Caught between two formidable enemies, Drinkwater's mission is made impossible by treachery. Rendered helpless, Patrician is captured, leaving the captain in solitary confinement ashore.

But, chance brings the aid of Do-a Ana Maria and a mysterious mountain man. In the distant waters of this beautiful and remote region, Drinkwater struggles to carry out his mission and is struck with the most extraordinary twist of fortune in his eventful life.

Nathaniel Drinkwater is ordered to the Chesapeake Bay in a last-ditch effort to heal the rift between London and Washington. Quite by chance, on the banks of the Potomac, he discovers the first clue to a bold plan by which the United States could defeat the Royal Navy, collapse the British government and utterly destroy the British cause.

When Drinkwater, amid personal crises, takes command of a squadron sent against the Americans, he risks his reputation and commission with the audacity of his actions. Finally, during a climactic confrontation in the South Atlantic, he comes face to face with the unmitigated horror of an interminable war.
