Adventure in Every Chapter!
This collection features four books which detail the adventures of Septimus Quinn, a Midshipman on the H.M.S. Althea during the Napoleonic wars. Quinn is a great character. He's slight in stature and somewhat of a nerd, but he exhibits the resourcefulness and coolness under pressure of James Bond.

I am halfway through reading this book with my preteen sons. They are loving every minute of it and so am I. I confess that I sometimes read ahead after they've gone to bed just to see how the next chapter turns out.

In summary, this collection provides good clean fun and adventure that can be enjoyed by young and old. I highly recommend it!

this is a great book!
These are great books! there are 4 book total and they all are great! I could barely put it down! Its about a young man who is a midshipman in England's navy when England was fighting Napoleon. He is very intelligent and he thinks of solutions to all the difficult situations he and whoever's with him are in. Its wonderful!

Wonderful!
This is an engaging and entertaining collection of books. I really enjoyed reading it. The storyline is believable, action filled and exciting. I found myself wishing that there was more to come after I finished!
