5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Very Entertaining By BMWpilot Another chapter in the Alexis Carew series. I was eagerly waiting for this third book to be released, and I wasn't disappointed. I was a bit surprised to see that "Dunkirk in Space" would be used as part of the plot, but it worked out well. I'm interested in how the author treats the PTSD issue that our Lt Carew is starting to suffer from. So, now I have to settle down for the long wait for the sequel.As for the fact that these stories are similar to Age of Sail novels, it works. David Drake's Lt Leary series is also using similar space sailing tech and low tech crews. The thing is to roll with and enjoy the story.

By Amazon Customer I was somewhat split on my opinion of the first book in this series, primarily due to its somewhat strange “science”. I was hesitant to read the second book due to the book blurb which seemed to focus on some woman hating (censored by Amazon). I liked the second book a lot more than I thought I would though and I liked this one quite a lot!Alexis is now a Lieutenant which I quite like since she now has some actual power to kick (censored by Amazon) and she is quite good at that. I guess this is one of those books that you either like or do not like. If you are into hard core science fiction then my guess is that you wont like this book. If you can look past the “science” and just look at the adventure part, well then it is a great book.This is really an old sailing ship era story, including pirates and all that kind of stuff, transformed into a space going era. It is quite well written. The characters are wonderful and it is a nice adventure filled with various kinds of action both in space and on the ground. Unfortunately the core of the story is a somewhat sad one where Alexis is taking part in a pretty botched up attempt to invade a planet, currently, belonging to the bad guys of this book series. As far as the core of the story goes I would say that it plays on a few British stereotypes. The bad guys are the Germans, The French cannot be bothered to pull their weight, apart from some especially heroic characters, and the British are the good guys (mostly). Well, it is a nice change from all the books where certain parties originating from the Middle East are the baddies at least.The book is filled with anachronisms. Sailing ships in space, old fashioned habits, battling with broadsides from manually loaded and fired guns, gun ports, flogging as a punishment, etc. etc. It takes a bit of getting used even though there this book provides some explanation as to thy things are as they are to but now once I have gotten used to it I do like it. I did read a few of my fathers old sailing adventure books as a kid and this is really a mixture of those and the sci-fi stories that I like.I have to say that I am a wee bit miffed about the ending though. Come on, Alexis pretty much saved the day including a heck of a lot of lives. The way she is treated at the end gives me very mixed feelings. I guess that the outcome was not too bad but it still stinks way to much of bureaucratic nonsense and pencil pushing. I especially grew a disliking for this psycho analyst or whatever that was evaluating Alexis after the main events. But then maybe that is the reaction that the author wanted.Well, at least she got a command and I am definitely very keen on knowing where the story goes from there. I am quite sure that the backwater command, being “away from the front lines”, is not going to be what her superiors think. At least I hope it wont be. Looking forward to the next instalment in the series…
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Well-written nautical science-fiction. By Unicycle guy J A Sutherland continues his excellent "Alex Carew" books with another well written gem, the third in the series. Sutherland has imagined a world were space ships "sail" on solar winds through darkspace. Moving through darkspace allows ships to traverse interplanetary distances in weeks or months but plays havoc with their electronic systems. This results in much of the equipment needing to be man-handled, as was done in the age of sail, back in the 1800s. What you end up with is essentially Hornblower meets sci-fi. Once you accept this premise, the books make for very engaging fiction.I recommend starting with the first book, "Into the Dark", which is an uplifting coming of age story, following Alex as she joins the Navy and attempts to find her place as a midshipman. The sequel "Mutineer" is darker but still a riveting read, examining the consequences of being under the command of a petty tyrant. "The Little Ships" finds Alex older and a little wiser but still with much to learn, particular in regards to history, politics and actions on a larger scale. The characters are very well written and Alex grapples with some of the more complex psychological issues resulting from command. As with the first two books the naval engagements draw heavily on 1800s nautical action (a familiarity with that period would be helpful in understanding some of the finer points). Also as with the last book, a core part of the plot is based on an historical event, which I felt makes the story even more interesting. At the conclusion of the novel the author provides some interesting commentary on which aspects were based on fact rather than fiction.
