In Governor Ramage, the fourth book in the Ramage series, Lieutenant Lord Nicholas Ramage, now commanding the Triton brig, is assigned to escort a convoy from Barbados to Jamaica.
Again, this is a fast-paced story from Dudley Pope. There is a lot of action. Ramage spots a skulking privateer, his ship is terrorized by a hurricane, he hunts treasure, and he obtains a prize, and finally he is subjected to another court martial. And, as usual, Pope’s writing is excellent, and the plot is a little unlikely but even so very interesting. The sea action in this book is good, but there is perhaps a little less of it than I would have liked.
Ramage is a very fascinating character, and to some extent it is this character and especially his behavior during the court martial, that makes this book interesting. Governor Ramage is perhaps not the best in the series, but it is still a Ramage well worth reading!
