1.The Complete Midshipman Bolitho (The Bolitho Novels)The Complete Midshipman Bolitho (The Bolitho Novels)
from McBooks Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This is the omnibus edition of the first three Richard Bolitho novels by Alexander Kent (Midshipman Bolitho, Bolitho and the Avenger, and Band of Brothers). The first two were written decades ago, but Band of Brothers only a couple years ago. I am not sure why kent waited so long to wrap up... more info

from McBooks Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Having started in this genre with C.S. Forester's Hornblower novels and gone on the Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series, I was delighted to run across this book as it looked as though there might be a whole new series in the same vein.
What a disappointment!
The prose is awful... more info

from McBooks Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This series of novels is excellent, but if you really want the best novels about this era in British Naval history, you should read the Patrick O'Brian novels (the movie Master & Commander was based on the O'Brian books). They give you a much deeper understanding of that era, ashore as well as... more info

Customer Review:
Richard Bolitho's new command is the Tempest, a 36-gun frigate, built in India of teak. a fifth class like his last command. But teak is a very heavy, dense wood; much heavier than the English oak usually used in the construction of ships of the Royal Navy, and therefor less maneuverable--but... more info

from McBooks Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Unlike some reviewers, the more we get of personality development in the Bolitho series, the more I have come to enjoy it. There's definitely less sea action, but I don't miss it when I'm dished up such interesting characters. The only problem I had reading this entry in the series was the numerous... more info

from McBooks Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I hate to write negative reviews but I simply had to.
Alexander Kent is a very, very poor writer. He simply doesn't know how to write. He's basically tried to copy C.S. Forester's Hornblower, in some cases almost verbatim, but he's just a terrible author and given a blueprint of how to write... more info

Customer Review:
This is now the second book (since the 3 Midshipman Bolitho novels have been compacted into one edition) in Kent's Bolitho series. Kent's writing style is easy to follow and this book can be knocked off pretty quickly. There is plenty of action and various plot twists that all come together at the... more info

Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Slighter darker and more cutting than the previous Bolitho novels. I liked the combination of character development and sea battles that this goes through. Better than average Bolitho read.
