Articoli correlati a Fire on the Waters: A Novel of the Civil War at Sea
The year is 1861, and America shudders on the brink of disunion. Elisha Eaker, scion of a wealthy Manhattan banking family, joins the Navy against his father's wishes. He does it as much to avoid an arranged marriage to his cousin, Araminta Van Velsor, as to defend the flag. Eli meets Lieutenant Ker Claiborne aboard the sloop of war U.S.S. Owanee. An Annapolis graduate who's seen action in the West Indies and the Africa Station, Claiborne is cool and competent in storm and battle, but he now faces an agonizing choice between the Navy he loves and his native Virginia. Whichever road he takes, he'll be called a traitor. With authentic nautical and historical detail, master sea-yarner David Poyer follows Eli, Araminta, Ker, and their loved ones and shipmates into a maelstrom of divided loyalties, bitter partings, stormy seas, governmental panic, political blundering, and, finally, the test of battle as the bloodiest and most divisive war in American history begins.

Recensione:
The New York Times Book Review Poyer knows what he is writing about when it comes to anything on, above, or below the water.
The Bradford (Pa.) Era After reading this splendid novel....I have only one comment for the author, in regard to his series: FULL SPEED AHEAD!
Kirkus Reviews A stirring story of the Civil War -- maritime style -- as told by savvy veteran Poyer in the first of an ambitious trilogy....Poyer, a former Navy captain, knows his ships, of course, but his cast is strong besides, and his grip on the tiller of Civil War history appears reassuringly firm.
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot If you have any love for ships or the sea, Poyer's narrative reads, as the critics say, as well as Conrad, Melville, and Wouk.
