Goodreads asked David Cook:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Cook I've been a follower of the Napoleonic era for a long time, and always (still do) admire the great ships of the age. So I wrote about Captain Gamble (whose brother features in my unpublished novel The Desert Lion) as a Marine who fights on land, yet has a connection to the Royal Navy.
