Second to None by Alexander Kent
In the days immediately following Waterloo, the British fleet confronts a new threat: Algerian pirates preying on hapless merchant ships. Adam Bolitho, Admiral Richard Bolitho's nephew and heir, finds himself in command of Unrivalled, a new kind of frigate--sleek, fast, and heavily armed.
The author succeeds in combining the human touch with rousing sea battles; both action scenes and characterizations are vivid-- Library Journal
