Members Reviews:
A good history lesson.
So much is generally known about the battle of Trafalgar and Admiral Nelson's part in it that the story line was not in any way a surprise as far as the battle outcome. That said, Author Pope has managed to add a fictional twist into the battle that gives Capt. Ramage a part in the fray. It was believable and kept Ramage involved despite the actual events. Actual names of most of the real ships was maintained as was Nelson's battle plan.
If nothing else, anyone who knew nothing of this last and most famous sea battle under sail will get a history lesson. A good read. JC Yuill
A nice historical novel
Having finished Dewey Lambdin's Alan Lewrie series (or caught up to Lambdin) I've turned back to Pope's Ramage stories. Big shift from the untraditional Lewrie protagonist to to the more conservative and traditional Ramage but this novel makes it easy. The historical detail of Pope is a great and the nice linear run from London to the cannon smoke of Trafalgar is refreshing in comparison to the more politically dramatic stories Pope's given us in the past. While I'm waiting for Lambdin's next book, these last few from Pope are very welcome and pretty darn good.

Another classic by Dudley Pope. This is Trafalgar from a different angle and Pope has a real ability to put us into the scene so that we can imagine what it must have been like on that day in 1805 when Nelson had his greatest victory and tragedy.
Incredible, Ramage, the Calypso, Nelson brought to life!
Incredible, Captain Ramage, the frigate Calypso, Admiral Nelson brought to life! The ship of the line, Victory, and Lord Nelson's unorthodox strategy that defeated the Combined French and Spanish fleets preserving Britain from the ravages of Bonaparte's armies, and lost the naval architect of Britain's salvation, Admiral Nelson.
