This humorous tale follows the escapades of Jack Easy, a well-born young man who embarks on a journey in the Royal Navy. While the story begins with a satirical look at Jacks idealistic views on the rights of man, it quickly evolves into an entertaining adventure filled with his clever triumphs over bullies, treacherous weather, and various foreign foes. Be warned the novel includes racial and ethnic epithets, religious stereotypes, and a rather optimistic take on supply-side economics, ensuring that there’s something to challenge nearly everyone.
