What reading level is The Invasion Year book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The efforts of the escort ships had been aided by the boats from Lady of Swansea, the civilian “commodore” of the trade’s ship, and several of that worthy’s old friends who captained some of the bigger three-masters that regularly voyaged from the West Indies and back.Lewrie suspected that what those experienced masters said among themselves, and passed along to every other vessel they could reach, went something very much like, “Listen, mates. This gilt-laced Navy pop-in-jay has less of a clue ...than a fart in a trance, so here’s what we’ll do … and bugger him!”But then, Captain Alan Lewrie had been a cynical and sarcastic sort for years on end.This sunset was not as spectacular as the one he had enjoyed the evening before. The wind was gathering strength from the Sou’east and the seas were a tad more boisterous. Though the skies were piled with white cloud during the afternoon, and the sunset was still pacific-looking despite the building thickness to the West, to leeward, there was a suspicious odour of fresh damp to the air, presaging rain, somewhere around them, sooner or later.HMS Reliant still prowled the rear of the convoy, swanning from its larboard quarter to its starboard corner, continually making, shortening sail as it ran up close to the laggards, dashing off to investigate why a trailing ship did not press on, then quartering back to spur another to keep up—for the third or fourth time.The ship’s boats were still in the water, being towed astern by long painters, with tarpaulin covers to keep out the rain and splashed waves sure to come from swamping them, Lewrie took note as he made one last stroll round the quarterdeck before going below for his supper.He looked forward once he fetched up at the cross-deck hammock nettings, studying their convoy, and shaking his head.
