This ebook doesn't meet my criteria for posting a book, in one area--there aren't enough ratings to get an accurate picture of its quality. However, I felt like this one deserved to be an exception. For one thing, all of the author's other books at Amazon are very highly rated.

Book Description
Not Self but Country” is the first book in this new series telling the story of the infant US Navy.
"Not Self but Country" is a story of the men who sailed into battle against the mighty British Navy in their smaller, often obsolete vessels converted from merchant ships of the day—men with names such as John Barry, Richard Dale, and John Paul Jones.
Now you can experience the exploits of these men. At sea aboard a fragile wooden sailing ship of the Continental Navy, you find yourself fighting desperate battles against the world’s largest and most powerful Navy, Great Britain. Cover your ears! Cannons are firing everywhere—you cough on the pungent smoke, dodging and ducking as jagged oak splinters cartwheel past your eyes.
There is nonstop action in this exciting new book.
EXTRA - CONTAINS NAUTICAL TERM DICTIONARY AND CHARACTER BIOGRAPHIES.
