Richard Woodman has created a series of 14 books detailing the 18th century British Navy exploits of Nathaniel Drinkwater. A Private Revenge is number 9 in that series. Drinkwater is an admirable, if stolid, character whose assignments take him around the globe against a variety of enemies. Woodman has flair for detail and a thorough knowledge of history and the technical aspects of 18th century sailing ships. He uses these skills to create intriguing and vivid naval tales.
