Found this book on a train so decided to give it a new home.
The Fortune of War is the sixth book in the series and with the exception of a few pages at the beginning of it Jack doesn't command a ship. It virtually starts straight where Desolation Island (the preceding novel)ended and just as war between Britain and America breaks out.
Not only does the timeline follow straight on from Desolation Island but also (for want of a better word) the villain of that particular book, Louisa Wogan, makes a reappearance.
I must admit that there are some interesting elements to this book, some terrific writing and I rather liked the fact that it breaks from the pattern of the earlier books but it also felt like the sea that our heroes are sailing on, it had some peaks and troughs.
