Lord Ramage has made his name through numerous brave, daring and extremely perilous sea battles. He has been charged with impossible tasks and has succeeded time after time gaining honour and glory for king and country. He has undertaken his tasks loyally with skill and valour. So it is with some surprise that he finds that perhaps his greatest enemy of all comes from within the British Navy itself. He is forced to undergo a battle that will require his all.
Ramage Trial The Lord Ramage Novels Book 14 edition by Dudley Pope Literature Fiction eBooks
Of all the fictional naval captains, Captain Lord Ramage is the most adored by his men. He is the alter ego of the real Admiral Lord Nelson, victor of Trafalgar and hero of the British Navy and of the English people. With his many victories and prizes, Ramage by now should be too rich to sail, but here he is in his 15th book and still only a Post Captain. But we'll allow that because frigate captains have all the fun, and admirals of advancing age equally late in their series, like Kent's Bolitho or O'Brian's Aubrey, have too many remote worries.The main story line is a convoy back to England and its plodding operations overseen by Ramage, torn by a bizarre meet with another British frigate. Although newly married, Ramage struggles with an infatuation with a lady of the convoy. There's also the strangest case of mutiny I've ever read. Haled into court, Ramage is court martialled for his life, with an infuriatingly biased judge guiding his fate. Throughout there overhangs the disturbing worry that Ramage's bride (of the previous novel Ramage's Devil) has been lost at sea. Paul Wright's cover painting is the weakest in his series, a lethargic stern chase.

Ramage Trial The Lord Ramage Novels Book 14 edition by Dudley Pope Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The story of the trial is good, but Pope wastes space - and my time - with minor character discussions, mostly related to pre- or planned post- Navy activities. They seemed like filler. Pope introduced a new female character who is interesting - I will read more to see if she shows up again, and to discover what became of Sarah and Gianna.
This is one of the best of the Lord Ramage series. Not a swashbuckler and the enemy is neither the French or privateers; but the Royal Navy itself. A very enjoyable read.
This is a great series and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes action and adventure books. This series happens to be written by a navel historian so its historical accuracy adds a great deal of value to the books. However the "procedural" aspect can get a bit tedious. He wrote 18 but was supposed to write 22. Unfortunately he died before he completed the series. I am hopeful that the publisher will find someone to pick up where Mr Pope left off because there is much unfinished business.
Very entertaining read. I have now read most of this series and continue to enjoy them. They are not a detailed or as filled-out as O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series, but still a fun read.
Another hit for Dudley Pope, who has a knack for coming up with very unusual situations and then very cleverly working through the problem and giving us a satisfying ending. Many of his stories have some basis in fiact; I'm not sure if this is one of them but many of the elements do have a ring of truth to them.
Pope as always, tries to bring to the reader all the many details of even the most mundane activities on board a King's ship. He doesn't disappoint in this account of a British Naval Court martial in which Ramage gets involved in the most bizarre circumstance imaginable which puts his career, if not his life in jeopardy. I had no ideas how the story would turn. JC Yuill
I've loved all the Ramage books up to this point but the whole premise of this book is off (crazy captain lies about firing on the Calypso and terrifies his whole crew into lying too!) And there is so much boring filler between the attack and the trial that it gets really tedious at times! Hope the next one has more nautical action!
