Falcon's
Revenge
A long
time fan of Forester, O'Brian, Kent & the British Navy; Mr.
O'Steen has finally embarked on his own writing career.
Considering the fine start he has made in Falcon's Revenge; I
think he has the making of a fine author.

Joseph O’Steen is
an avid student of the British Royal Navy during the
Napoleonic Wars, which led to the creation of the Nathan
Beauchamp series.
" I have attempted to provide the reader with a fast-paced,
action-filled sea story," says O’Steen.
And in this he is successful, as Lieutenant Nathan
Beauchamp makes his debut.

Joseph L. O'Steen
is a born storyteller whose writing style reminds me strongly
of C.S. Forester, with its combination of simplicity and (when
his characters speak) courtliness. The book starts off slowly,
as characters are introduced and background is provided; but
that is acceptable in this genre, and things soon take off and
then keep moving.

Pursuit of Honor
Falcon's
Revenge is the first
book in a series of six that will follow Nathan Beauchamp
through his naval career and his fight against French
privateers and Napoleon Bonaparte. It shall be interesting to
watch Nate mature and aspire to greater heights as he matches
wits with formidable foes to come.

The author,
Joseph L. O’Steen, has crafted a book rich in setting that
gives enough detail about life on a British war ship to bring
the reader on board and sail him through realistic action.

This is a
fast-paced naval adventure that combines suspense with
intrigue and romance. It is not meant for those readers well
versed in naval yarns of the Napoleonic Era. Rather it
introduces new readers to the world of wooden sailing ships
and life in the Royal Navy. The pirates play a minor role in
this tale, but the spies and traitors keep readers interested
from start to finish. A good read in spite of the lack of
copy editing.

The realities of
life on a 19th Century sailing vessel come across vividly as
this sea story unfolds. These details drive the plot; they
aren't woven in for added interest, which should make them
accessible to readers just starting in the genre made famous
by C.S. Forester.
Author Nina Osier
The great thing
about Nathan Beauchamp is that he is so damnably human. The
great thing about Joseph O’Steen is that he is a writer who
understands not only the sea, but human nature itself.
