I only just found this series (this is first in a triolgy) and what a find!, firstly any worries you have about the book being well written with characters that you will love then forget them.Firstly, if you are a fan of Patrick O'Brian or The Destroyermen series then you will enjoy this series if you arent dont worry, I have never read either an O'Brian or a Destroyerman book simply because the subject matter does not interest me but its amazing how if you put that sort of book in a Post Apocalyptic World and all that changes, I loved this book and Iam already half way through the second.I read a lot of PA books and this is a very original idea, putting what in terms of technology is an 18th century sailing ship in a PA world but where the kerguelens have both knowledge of the pre Apocalyptic World in the form of books handed down from the original refugees and the ability to put that knowledge into practicse and then if that isnt enough you get to see the main character trying to create a Navy from scratch.Buy this book and the series, you wont regret it!!
