If you appreciate stories of pirates and sailing and naval adventures, you will surely like this tale of post-apocalyptic exploits on the high seas.  There is a lot of sailing jargon, but it is critical to the storyline.  If you don't already know some sailing terms, prepare for an education.  This is apparently the first of a series. The characters are not yet well-developed but perhaps we'll get more back-story in the second book. Thus far, there are white hats and black hats with no grey in between - and therefore slightly bland - somewhat like a youth oriented book.  However there are some adult themes. The Islamic pirates are a bit cliche in terms of current world politics but we shall see how the story unfolds.  Looking forward to book 2.
