an explorer, but as the Captain General of the fleet.

I hope this link works,

I think if you liked Master Commander, you'd like this.  It's pretty

I have it - it's not bad.

If you liked this, you'd love Nicholas Monsarrat's "Master Mariner".

Not "Master Marniner - Running Proud".  That was written after his
death and it sucks.

I wont' give the plot away, but it's a hell of a read.
