From the Douglas Reeman website

[Double D]

For those who have leisure time on their hands and are looking for a time out from reading dry tedious but not boring history I suggest the works of Douglas Reeman.  I find it hard to find the Reeman books in the U.S. so I order them from www.abebooks.com. 

Under the Reeman nom de plume he writes about WW II and action on British MTB's and  MGB's.  You guys may be more familiar with his work under the pen name Alexander Kent and the Bolitho series featuring sailing ships and cannon fire.

While visiting his website this morning if found an intersting story on rebuilding some old cannon carriges.  Here is a link to the story.   Son of a Gun

Less interested in the modern navy..... I found the site interesting.......
The A.Kent"Bolitho" is a great series I read them all that were available back when I was a teenager but after a visit to his site I see there are many I have missed! the copies I had were lost in the move south..... so now I'll have even a bigger chore rebuilding the collection and getting reaquainted with Richard Bolitho.......
Thanks for posting this.
