In the late 1700s, the wry and often contemplative Capt. Nicholas Fallon commands The Sea Dog, a privateer schooner that protects his employer's lucrative salt trade in the Caribbean. With first mate and longtime childhood friend Beauty McFarland, he tangles with the notorious pirate Wicked Jak Clayton, which begins the adventure of a lifetime. From heated sea battles to falling in love, Westbrook's novel details the perils of maritime life in the 18th century as empires sparred for trade and riches. While this title will satisfy nautical fiction enthusiasts, it doesn't belabor historical minutiae and terminology but seamlessly weaves those details into the story line while jumping right into the action. Westbrook's captain and crew are the embodiment of friendship, courage, and allegiance on the high seas. VERDICT Full of adventure and intrigue, this first novel will be a solid entry point to a compelling series in the making. A strong choice for Patrick O'Brian fans.--Ron Samul, New London, CT
