  Kipling became involved in the debate over the British response to the rise in German naval power known as the Tirpitz Plan to build a fleet to challenge the Royal Navy, publishing a series of articles in 1898 which were collected as "A Fleet in Being". And as always with Kipling there is that wonderful sardonic humor and attention to the lower orders of being.

  The author of Treasure Island delivers a “colorful plot and tense family drama . . . You couldn’t ask for more fun in a novel—it even has pirates” (The Guardian).   During the Jacobite Risings of 1745, two Scottish brothers battle for the family inheritance in what “is commonly regarded as [Robert Louis Stevenson’s] greatest full-length work” (The Atlantic).   “[The Master of Ballantrae] has the adventurous spirit of Treasure Island, the romantic 18th-century Scottish setting of Kidnapped, the obsession with doubles and divided selves that makes Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde such a resonant parable, and a climactic image as horrific as that in The Body Snatcher. Its blend of historical romance, travel fantasy and gothic nightmare makes it deeply pleasurable.” —The Guardian   “If a strong story, strongly told, full of human interest, and absolutely original in its situations, makes a masterpiece, then this may lay claim to the title.” —Arthur Conan Doyle
