Although not quite as good as his first book, “Under Enemy Colors” this story by Sean Russell was still a wonderful read. In this follow-up novel I found my daring Captain Hayden going off to fight another sea battle. I also found that Mr. Russell did a super job of blending fictional and non-fictional characters, scenes and storyline. He did this so well that the book kept my interest page after page. The details he brought out of the wooden ships and their construction and makeup was just icing on the cake. If you’ve been craving a super sea story during the golden age of sail, then I recommend “A Battle Won.” Enjoy.
