Just finished reading - Under Enemy Colours & A Battle Won
Excellent historical fiction brought to vivid life.
Written by Vancouver Island author
S. Thomas Russell
It is set in the late 1790's -- the French Revolution is doing its mobocracy thing and England is at war with France. The protagonist is a British Naval Officer whose mother is French so he is not given the 'choice' assignments.
The series is strongly chronological so be sure to read Under Enemy Colours first. I found these for sale at Costco in trade paperback for $10 each so well worth it for a week of great reading.
Very similar to the Patrick O'Brien canon.
