Wow, I have just now realized that there are two Bolithos. While I am reading mt last Ramage, and have one more Kydd anf one more Lewrie to go' I started accumulating the Bolitho books, for my next "assignment". (have already the first 8 of them).
I was also impressed to see that Douglas Reeman is still producing fiction at his advanced age.

I read this a month or two ago, and frankly, I have trouble remembering many of the plot elements, except to note that Tyacke does make an appearance. I do recall it being a good read, as expected with an author of Kent's experience.

Since I've chosen today to "speak my piece" concerning Douglas Reeman's Iconic series under the pen name of Alexander Kent, I've saved this one for last...........because I truly believe that it should beThe Last novel of this series.

Elsewhere, I've mentioned that I felt Heart's of Oak should have been the final book in this series, but unfortunately, I didn't speak until I read In the King's Name. Now, to my knowledge there has been no announcement of another book being written for this series (somebody please tell me that I'm right). So "please Mr. Reeman, leave us with good memories (well, at least mostly good memories) and let's put this series to bed, once and for all."

I don't like to write "bad reviews" (Mom said; "if you can't say something nice........") so I'll just let you go to Amazon or any number of review sites and take a look. I've never seen reviews that bad on a book anywhere and I agree with them.

I am the proud owner of a complete set of the Bolitho novels in first edition hardback and signed by the author (all except the last one -- and truly, I'd be embarassed to ask for his signature and he might just feel the same).

Yes, it's in my library (infact somehow I ended up with 2 copies).
