Books like Ramage's Devil

The writing in this was slightly better than in the last few books of the series. Whilst the constant recapping was still there it wasn't as relentless as normal and there was more character development than normal for the series. Ramage gets caught up in france on honeymoon when war breaks out again. He manages to enlist the help of some french republicans who help him capture a brig who's crew has mutinied and hence escape from Brest. In doing so they come across the english fleet where of course the admiral lets him retake command of his old ship and dash off on an independant cruise to cayene to try and capture the french frigate carrying the detained french (which of course he does plus another frigate in the process!).
