The Nelson and Emma Trilogy

Post by Astrodene on Fri 17 Apr 2009, 23:36

Just added another series by this author to the site. I haven't read them but as the first book also covers the early life of Emma Hamilton presumably a large proportion of the series is land based. However as it's written by Donachie I would assume it also covers Nelsons sea career.

Donachie discusses this series a bit in his introduction to Hearts of Oak and his contribution to the anthology is an excerpt from the first Nelson book, On a Making Tide.

I've just spent ages trying to sort out the first edition dates for this series and eventually found an obscure reference.

It seems that the first editions were in the UK, Hardcover by Orion, and the text was split over two volumes 'On a Making Tide' & 'Breaking the Line'.

McBooks then published in the US in paperback but split the text over 3 volumes 'On a Making Tide', 'Tested by Fate' & 'Breaking the Line'.

As titles are the same in both series if anyone is thinking of purchasing you should take care not to mix them.
