Review
Because this book was based on actual events, many readers find it more compelling than other novels. It is exciting and full of action from page one. The plot moves quickly, but there is a lot of navigational and shipping vocabulary that makes this book difficult to understand. Overall, it is a great sea-faring adventure.
