In both books, the "hero" is a bit of a low-life-proud, rebellious and, many times, downright mean. He was criticized for that style when Frank Mildmay first came out, so he stayed away from it for a dozen years; but, with Percival Keene, he reverted. Keene is the bastard son of an upwardly mobile captain in the Royal Navy. For social reasons, his father will not recognize him; but, instead, works behind the scenes to help him along. The book is full of the usual Marryat high-seas adventures in which the young officer is lost during a battle and thought dead, then finds his way back; confrontations with pirates, storms at sea, and so forth.
