I really liked this book. Some reviewers have diced the hero because he suffers great doubts about the actions he has taken to fulfill his mission. I disagree. I believe that any leader who controls the very lives of his people, is going to agonize over his actions. C.S. Forrester's Horatio Hornblower and Alexander Kent's' Richard Bolithio characters suffered these same doubts when they were many years older than Jacob Hull in this story. Most real life leaders spend many sleepless nights reliving their decisions, wondering how many lives their actions have cost. I like the  plot of this book very much and will buy the rest of the series. His promotions came a little too fast, but I can live with that.
