Set in Tonga in late 1700's. Tells the story of a British ship that ends up playing a central role in Tongan civil war. This ended up a good story, but started a little slowly. It was full of detailed historical research into Tonga and naval war. The author is an ex-league player and you can tell - some of the fight scenes read a little like Rabs Warren and Sterlo calling a game! Definitly worth reading, and I'll pick up the follow up one at some point. ...more
