At the end of each book I want to know and hear more which is to my mind the sign of a good story. Although the series is fairly formulaic they are still exciting and interesting to keep me coming back.

Well worth getting into

Very enjoyable, well read and a cracking story. You can taste the sea salt and hear the cannons bark. Drop anchor, break out the rum and sponge down your barrel. Hussar!
