Raider: The Dorset Boy book 9 Kindle Edition

by Christopher C Tubbs (Author), Christopher C Tubbs (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,340 ratings
Its 1812. A year of political instability in Britain. The government is unpopular; high taxes to pay for the war, the industrial revolution and the resulting unemployment are the root causes of social unrest. To make life even more complicated the Americans are threatening war along the Canadian border, opening a second front. Marty neutralises a threat to his operations on the peninsula by travelling to Paris, gets diverted to North America to prevent a French attempt to provoke an early start to that war, then goes back to Spain for the battle of Salamanca. The action builds as he supports Malta, which is denuded of troops to support Wellington in Spain and discovers a white slavery operation that is taking young girls from England and selling them in North Africa. Their children kidnapped and shipped to Tortuga by the gang responsible; Marty and Caroline return to the Caribbean to attempt a rescue. Another all action adventure instalment of The Dorset Boy series .

    Love this series but the author has introduced too many actors that have limited roles. Can't follow who is whom. Given the large number of locations it would be helpful if Tubes would add some maps. A lot of this book was boring filler.

    I am a huge fan of Andrew Wareham, Griff Hosker, Lee Childs and several others of the same caliber. I discovered Christopher Tubbs with the first Dorset Boy book and have placed him with all my favorites. It's not enough to have a good story line; a story needs to be well written. Christopher Tubbs accomplishes both. His Dorset Boy series are fast paced and entertaining. He accomplishes this by creating multiple independent sub-plots through out the book leaving you with that feel good feeling. Phil Ward and his Those Who Dare series does the same thing. Makes for pleasurable reading which for me, is the purpose of the novel. Why buy something that makes you feel miserable for three quarters of the read? Here most of the antagonists are introduced and quickly dealt with, hence the feel good feeling and on to the next adventure. My recommendation for anyone interested in reading this book is to start with the first book of the series. Christopher Tubbs develops the existing characters and introduces new ones through out the series and part of the fun is to live vicariously with all these characters. You will not be disappointed.

    I've read 9 of the books in the series and can't stop. I'm moving to the 10th in the series, as with all great series I will be sad when it comes to an end. 5 more to go I think.
