The Flag Captain

The detailed depiction of ship life and military hierarchy felt so authentic. I wonder if the author has a personal connection to maritime history or did extensive research for this?

I loved the action sequences, but some of the political negotiations felt a bit slow. Was this balance intentional to build tension or just how the story unfolded?

The protagonist’s struggles between duty and personal desire felt very real and nuanced. I’m curious whether this was based on historical figures or purely fictional creation.
