A rollicking quick read! It's "Master and Commander" meets "Star Wars" with a liberal dash of "Debbie Does the Royal Navy". In 1815 a British squadron gets mistakenly whisked off to another planet and lands right in the middle of an intergalactic war. Things get especially interesting when the Brits ally with the League of Planet's energy beings, who take on human female form to "get along" with all the English sailors. Will the Royal Navy ships save the cosmos from the giant flesh-eating Draesh? Will the decorum of proper British officers descend into the gutter thanks to the inviting female aliens? Seems there's never a dull moment for the displaced humans, with thundering ships' broadsides, help from some sharp shooting Yankees, and plenty of swordplay pitting high-born British officers against viciously stabbing crabmen. Whether you like historical fiction, fantasy, bawdy comedy, or just a wild crazy read, this is definitely a very unforgettable tale.
