Query: American revolution goes to sea

As an avid reader of O'Brian, Marryat, and others (but not Forrester), I was not ready to like Nelson so bought only Book #1. I have just ordered #2 and #3, however. This book gets into the guts of the days of wooden ships and iron men, and gives a viewpoint of both the Yanks and the Brits in 1775 that I don't remember learning in US history class. Maybe I liked the book because I lived in the UK for a while and was glad to see the pompous-ass Brits get their due. Although I prefer the superior prose of O'Brian, Nelson is a good storyteller and it's refreshing to leave the era of Napolean for a change.
