The lieutenant is summoned by the admiralty and given command of the brig Triton. But like the rest of the navy, Triton's crew has mutinied.

Members Reviews:
As good as the last two. Read also The Black Ship, by Pope

Review of the Ramage series of novels:
Don't read this until you have read the first book: Ramage and Ramage and the Drumbeat by Dudley Pope. Also included below a partial review of The Black Ship, also by Pope about a factual mutiny.
Book 1: Ramage
Book 2: Ramage and the Drumbeat
Book 3: Ramage and the Freebooters
Book 4: Governor Ramage RN
Book 5: Ramage's Prize
Book 6: Ramage and the Guillotine
Order them all, because you won't want to stop. The action is fast and furious.
This is third in a series of historical fiction by Dudley Pope. All of these are fictional novels based on British Admiralty records of the Napoleonic era. Written in the best tradition of Forester and O'Brien, these books will capture your imagination. And if you haven't read the Hornblower series by Forester, or the Aubrey/Maturin series by O'Brien, try them also. All of these are excellent books that you will treasure and reread. I particularly like these books by Pope. I recommend that you buy them all at once and read them in order. You will be glad you did.
If you enjoy reading accurate descriptions of naval maneuvers in the age of sail, or simply a good adventure yarn, Dudley Pope delivers. Pope conveys how the best of the best, handle emergency situations. He portrays these situations with realism and authenticity.
Review of this book:
Ramage, is given command of the Triton with orders to deliver a warning to three offshore fleets that the fleet in homeport has mutinied. His first job is to get the Triton under way and he comes up with a surprise to get the mutinous Triton's out of port. Even then he still has to hold the crew together and build their loyalty. Then upon arriving in the West Indies, he is given a mission and set up by his admiral to take a fall and must gamble against the odds to be successful.
Buy the series in the hard cover--worth keeping and handing down.
For more historical information about mutiny in history, read the factual story of the most notorious mutiny of all time in the, The Black Ship by Dudley Pope. It gives keen insight into the conditions of the time, an analysis of the mind of a heartless Captain whose floggings often resulted in the deaths of his men, the terrrible casualty rates due to Yellow Fever, and the gruesome deaths of the officers. One horrific tale, but if you have the stomach for it, well worth reading.
A good ol' sailing story about the turn of the 18th Century British Navy
I am a long time fan of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey Maturin books. I have been looking for some more sailing books. It seems books on the British Navy are the best stories one finds. Pope's Ramage is a believable character and the history is accurate and fun to read. Ramage's relationship to Jackson reminds me of Aubrey and his close ties to some of his sailors. There is more than one event ongoing in the book, though not all at the same time. Pope weaves them together with no loss of the story .
