You
don't
need
to
be
a
history
or
nautical
buff
to
truly
enjoy
the
fascinating
characters
in
this
historical
novel.
The
author
has
written
the
dialogue
in
such
a
way
as
to
make
the
reader
feel
a
part
of
the
conversation;
part
of
the
scene.
It
would
be
as
if
they
were
standing
right
next
to
John
Paul
Jones
as
he
got
down
to
the
real
issue,
which
is
trying
to
figure
how
he's
going
to
win
the
battle
aboard
the
sinking
Bon
Homme
Richard;
with
rotten
oaken
sides
and
holds
that
are
filling
with
sea
water.
While
at
the
same
time,
the
HMS
Serapis,
commanded
by
Captain
Pearson,
is
ready
to
finish
him
off
and
strip
him
of
his
ship
and
crew.The
astonishing
life
of
John
Paul
Jones
has
been
forgotten
through
the
ages.
He
is
but
a
footnote;
seldom
mentioned
as
a
respectable
peer
among
the
honored
land
generals
of
the
Revolutionary
War.Maybe
this
story
will
help
enlighten
a
few
grey
cells
among
the
citizens
of
the
USA.
Just
maybe
they
will
welcome
this
extraordinary
historical
character
into
that
inner
circle
of
supreme
and
brave
men
who
fought
so
diligently
during
the
American
Revolutionary War.
