A brilliant sea-faring novel for fans of Hornblower, Bernard Cornwell?s Sharpe and Alan Mallinson?s Matthew Hervey novels
This is G.S. Beard's second novel in a series of John Fury stories. He lives in Lincolnshire. His first book Mr Midshipman Fury is published by Century.
Here is a rollicking adventure, real Boy's Own stuff, which is
romantic (without the romance) and reassuring (England really did
rule the waves), which will stir into life the most sluggish blood
of the even the most pacific of readers. Much of Mr Midshipman Fury
details life on board a cramped naval vessel in time of war but
action is always well to the fore. Among the most engrossing scenes
is the forcefull described battle. Particularly poignant when
Fury's fellow midshipman - some no older than 13 - are brutally and
bloodily cut down. Towering above all the action is Fury himself, a
teenager with the skill and cunning of a superhero...Fury promises
to go far
