The Colonial Post-Captain

Pretty good book featuring 18th century naval action in the Mediterranean Sea. Captain Carlisle and Master Holbrooke are attractive protagonists, and I enjoyed their adventures. This story is solidly anchored around the very real Battle of Minorca in 1756 between French and British fleets. (An indecisive battle, but the French carried the day.)
We get tall-ship naval engagements, dangerous missions, a mystery to resolve, and a romance. What's not to like?
IMO, this story is not quite up to the story-telling level of the Aubrey-Maturin and Horatio Hornblower books (a tough level to match) but is still a good read, especially if you like historical novels set during the Age of Sail.
Steven Crossley's audio narration is quite good.
Solid four stars.
