Classic naval fiction, said to have been inspired by the dashing Lord Cochrane's adventures as a midshipman in the Napoleonic Wars

Set sail with Midshipman Jack Easy, the original nautical hero, as he embarks on a career in the Royal Navy, a new life full of spine-tingling danger, outrageous adventure, and humorous goings-on. Jack is the unfortunate son of a self-taught philosopher who has a lot to learn on the decks of a ship of war - but learn them he does, and he proves his courage, honor, and cleverness to boot.

As you embark with Jack on a tour of the high seas, you'll be following in the footsteps of Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, C.S. Forester, Patrick O'Brian, and countless other lovers of nautical fiction through the years who found in Marryat the key to a whole new world. Lord Cochrane himself spoke highly of Marryat, calling him "brave, zealous, intelligent - and even thoughtful."

Industry Reviews

[Marryat's] greatness is undeniable. --Joseph Conrad Marryat has the power to set us in the midst of ships and men and sea and sky, all vivid, credible, authentic. --Virginia Woolf This was Marryat's navy, his world, and no one brings it to us with greater authenticity. --Alexander Kent When your [Patrick] O'Brians are out, recommend Marryat. -- "Library Journal"
