Visualizza tutti i formati ed edizioni

Commodore Sam Bowditch of the Republic of Kerguelen Navy continues the war at sea against the corsairs of the Caliphate, who threaten Kerguelen's maritime trade with her Indian Ocean colonies, and, ultimately, the very existence of the Kerguelenian diaspora. Between desperate battle at sea, Sam must administer the rapid growth of the infant Navy, oversee the integration of new technology into the fleet, and cope with his conflicting feelings about two women: medical officer Dr. Marie Girard, with whom he had a brief and passionate fling; and Madeline Dupree, widow of his best friend and the woman he had fallen in love with at first meeting.

Readers of the two previous novels in the series, "Westerly Gales" and "Cruise of the Albatros", has this to say about them: "Great story about a possible future..." The comparisons to Patrick O'Brian are justified" ..." It's a bit like "Back to the Future" meets Horatio Hornblower. It is terrific and fast moving." "This was an excellent combination of post apocalyptic and naval fiction, making it one of the most unique examples of the former I have ever read"..."I've sorely missed O'Brien with his untimely passing. But weep no more, as E.C. Williams has gracefully stepped to the fore front. One of the best sea stories I've ever read, and I've read many and many of them."

E.C. Williams really warms to his task...next please!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 dicembre 2020

I have spent some time sailing Indian Ocean waters and picked this book up out of curiosity but have thoroughly enjoyed watching then Kerg Navy grow. Great story without the "blockbuster" formulated plot and real technical sailing knowledge.

The Afrikaans slang was a chuckle too, having grown up in South African.

Smart book

I waited eagerly for the third installment of this book and I was not disappointed. I would say this is some of the best naval fiction written recently. Very realistic, the author clearly knows his stuff with heroes that are not bigger than life. Great description of life on a ship. Looking forward to volume #4.

Loved the new details on the time of troubles and looking forward to know more about the Califate.

Only thing I think it could be improve is that sometimes it can be repetitive, for instance we learned on the first time they use it that the sterling engine on the towboat needs to be warmed up, no need to repeat it every time.

The Albatross sails on

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 gennaio 2013

Acquisto verificato

The third book in Mr. Williams series picks up where the second book, "The Cruise of the Albatross", left us in the Indian Ocean. Again we have our hero, Serge 'Sam' Bowditch, and his crew of Kergs and Malagasys fight the dreaded Arabs so as to preserve their way of life in a future world previously ruined by the 'Troubles'.

This book is perhaps the best written of the three with more attention to plot detail and pacing, better development of minor characters and a richer explanation of the world around these characters. It does help if you have some nautical understanding; when at sea there is always some splicing, trimming and shifting to be done. But Mr. Williams pulls back the camera a bit to show us more of the new world and provide some explanation of how it came to be, and we learn more of the Arab opponents who threaten the Kergs. Much like Taylor Anderson's "Destroyerman" series, Mr. Williams is faced with providing us a larger story without sacrificing the more intimate feel of the characters we've come to know. He does that well, and we are introduced to new characters who help advance the story line.

A concern and a nit: the concern is that (without spoiling the plot) we have a chapter to show us the other side, the Arabs. All well and good, but the story actually works better if it is confined to what Sam and his people see. Let the opponent remain the "Other" and we feel the tension Sam feels about the imminent threat to his way of life. My hope is that book four will remain focused on the Kergs.

The nit: once again Amazon does a poor job of copy editing and typesetting. There are numerous punctuation and typographical errors, just enough for you to notice and to interrupt the flow.

Needs Focus

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 gennaio 2013

Acquisto verificato

The first and second books were fantastic, but the way-to-detailed descriptions of sea/navy life are rapidly overwhelming what I thought was the story of the struggle between the two cultures of the Kerguelen and the Caliphate. Maybe it's more interesting to those who sail or are Navy vets, but for me anyway it's confusing and kind of boring.

Add in the fact that the Kerguelen's can't seem to do anything wrong, are magically capable of producing ships, guns, supplies, etc. (and can invent new guns and airplanes) not only on time but always ahead of schedule, and can get anything they want politically with only a little dinner conversation, and it's moving from fiction to unbelievable fantasy.

Don't get me wrong, the author is an excellent writer and obviously he knows where he is taking us in the story, I just think focusing a bit and bringing some reality into the fiction would make the journey more interesting.

Hornblower and the Fanatics

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 maggio 2017

Acquisto verificato

Suppose you were to rewrite C. S. Forester's Hornblower novels with French-American survivors of an apocalypse sailing from Antarctica to the Indian Ocean where they fight Barbary pirates. Except in this case the pirates are the sort of Moslem fanatics that we are familiar with from the news. This is the sort of story Westerly Gales presents. I loved all three novels of this series and cannot wait for the next. However, I do hope they manage to stop short of nuking the fanatics before the series is done.
