From Library Journal
Published in 1977, 1975, and 1980, respectively, these are the first three installations in Kent's ongoing series of the adventures of protagonist Richard Bolitho. The plots follow Bolitho's various exploits in the Royal Navy in the late 19th century. McBooks will eventually reprint all 23 Bolitho novels.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Of the C.S. Forester followers, Alexander Kent has most closely followed the schedule that Forester set. Like Forester, Kent started the series in the middle and then wrote novels at the beginning and end to complete the series. Other series writers including Pope, O'Brian, Parkinson, and Woodman wrote their series in chronological order for the most part. Stand Into Danger is chronologically the second (or third) novel in his series but was published over a decade after the first Richard Bolitho novel hit the bookstands. Bolitho readers had the character down but Kent took them back to see their hero develop and develop he does in Stand Into Danger.
In Stand Into Danger Bolitho learns about leadership from his captain and first lieutenant. He enlists a stalwart companion in Stockdale, acquires a nasty scar and experiences love for the first time. He also has a series of thrilling adventures and breathtaking naval battles involving pirates. Stand Into Danger is a solid entry in the series.
Like other novels in these series, Stand Into Danger is written as an adult action adventure. It has a real feel to it. The Caribbean of 1774 was not the romantic vacation holiday setting of today. It was a place of illness, sweltering heat, violent storms and brutal pirates. None of it is romanticized although Bolitho is a good old-fashioned hero who manages to overcome against all odds. Men die and die horribly in naval battles. Kent does not gloss over this fact although he spares us the worst of the details.
Kent does an excellent job of describing young Richard Bolitho. To some extent his descriptions of Bolitho sound like the reminiscences of a middle-aged man. On the other hand, Bolitho's discovery of love as a young man rings true.
I did find Kent's description of the climactic battle a little confusing. A map at the appropriate chapter would help. There was also some intrigue in the novel that required some attention to detail. Also, a diagram of the ship would have been helpful. Stand Into Danger is a respectable entry into the series and a step up from Richard Bolitho and the 'Avenger" but not as good as In Gallant Company, the next entry in the series.
Format:Taschenbuch
I have, over the years, from the 1970's, accumulated every one of the Bolitho Books. If you are a water person, and have any interest in Military History, or action adventure stories, this is the series for you to have. I have found Mr. Kent's (Douglass Reeman) writing to be profoundly interesting, and extreremly well researched and throughly thought out.. I recommend this series highly.
Format:Taschenbuch
I enjoyed this book far more than the first. the action was better described, it was done at a much faster pace and the characters are more defined and interesting. the book does have a couple of problems. it starts like was a book missing, events of an important nature have happened that we the reader were not witness to. there are a couple of inacuracies about things that happen in the book. however i find this book to be more action/adventure rather than a serious delve into naval history. so if you want action/adventure then give this a read. over all a good fun book.

What apparently is the second book (chronologically)
This book starts out badly as you are left with the feeling that there is a missing chapter. It's as if the author had some information in mind that he did not care to share with... Lesen Sie weiter...
