Why this must be read:
This is a unique piece of fic. Not only for the early setting -- 1787 -- but for the meeting of Captain Pellew with William Bush in his midshipman years. The characterization of both Bush and Pellew is adroit. Much said in a small space. The author knows what she is about, and has given us a completely believeable and beautifully written story about how William Bush came to be a lieutenant, and the man who made it possible.
He will make sailors of the midshipmen, he will make a gentleman of himself, and you will make officers of them all.
