Books like With the lightnings by David Drake


This is the first book of the Lt. Leary series. WARNING: This series is highly addictive. In this book you will be introduced to Daniel Leary, Adele Mundy and many more of their crack crew. You'll learn how a lowly 2nd Lt. gains command of a fighting vessel, how that vessel was obtained and fought. You'll be more than ready to read the rest of this series when you finish this work. Written by Master Author David Drake, it is full of action as anyone could desire, plus it shows courage and human nature for what they really are. Finally, it also shows heart, which is lacking from many books. Enjoy.
