This book is a very fun read and has a good balance of detail and action.  I would suggest reading the afterword first, as it sets up the  premise of the story.  It moves along at a good pace and is kept well within the limits of possibility.  The outcome is not clear until the last and the ending is not unicorns and rainbows, but deals with the gritty reality of war.The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the disposition of forces during the British naval trap could use some work.  It was not really clear the ships were deployed relative to each other, making it hard to follow the action.For the first alternate history, this was an excellent story and I hope you will be writing a follow on.
