Truelove

"[O'Brian is] one of the best storytellers afloat, whose chosen period is the great age of fighting sail but whose works have none of ye olde creaks and groans of period fiction....Mr. O'Brian while telling his yarn writes like a man simply at home in a 500-ton frigate. All the naval minutiae of the early 19th century are evidently in his grasp, but like the Surprise's maintopsails, they are used to drive the book forward, a great show that also has cumulative effect."O'Brian, Patrick is the author of 'Truelove' with ISBN 9780393310160 and ISBN 0393310167.
