Mr Midshipman Fury by Gs Beard
A shadow hangs over John Thomas Fury in his first voyage as a midshipman aboard the Amazon. Ten years earlier his father, a brig commander in the Service, became mentally unbalanced and his crew mutinied. Now, as Amazon heads southwards on her voyage to India, Fury finds himself working hard to prove that he isn't cursed just like his father.
Here is a rollicking adventure, real Boy's Own stuff, whicn is romantic (though twithout romance)and reassuring..and which will stir into life the sluggish blood of even the most pacific of readers * Daily Express *
A lively page-turner. Beard shows that he can write about nautical action fluently, and there is always something going on as adventures fairly fall over each other once the ship sails into Indian waters. If you like sea stories, you will enjoy this, and even if you think you don't but enjoy things like Sharpe, it might just convert you. * Historical Novels Review *
