Review: A decent SciFI book for fans of Alexander Kent and Dudly Pope

"Hunter's Navy", the story of a young midshipmen reporting to his first command in a new and interesting science fiction universe  will be an enjoyable read for anyone who likes the Alexander Kent Richard Bothilo books or David Feintuch's Midshipmen's Hope books as it is yet another attempt to translate the Napoleonic era into a Science Fiction story.The writing style is a little simplistic and heavy handed and there are some distracting formatting errors such as a lack of paragraph breaks for dialogue changes every once in a while, but despite all that the story has a good flow and the action kept me interested.I wouldn't however recommend "Hunter's Navy" for fans of" Hard Science" Fiction as certain things, a space ship with large windows and indeed an exposed deck with glass covering it and Napoleonic era boarding actions just to name a few, will no doubt drive anyone who is really into science bonkers.Still I hope that the author continues to refine both his writing ability and his universe because I did enjoy his overall sense of storytelling and I believe he can produce a much stronger book with a little practice.
