Thieves of Mercy-Mini Review

Thieves of Mercy

Maine's James L. Nelson a long time favorite. His latest Thieves of Mercy his 2nd on the Civil War and it's naval aspects from the Confederate Navy's POV mainly. Like a steam ship 'gettin up steam' Thieves is a slow starter. However, from the point in the books from a rare chase scenes set on Virginia river's and conducted on small sailing boats the tempo rises and keeps on satisfactoraly. There is a particulars funny epilogue.
