Why read it?
1 author picked H.M.S. Cockerel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this series from the first book.
Lewrie is going up the ranks, and watching/reading his attempts at being a proper officer while keeping his inner rogue nature in check is fantastically satisfying. I was absolutely fascinated following his adventures this time.
Even if this is the 6th novel in the series, I could not predict how each choice was going to resolve.
From Brett's list on being in command.
