	Books and Writing - 21/08/2005: Peter Smalley - HMS Expedient
		HMS Expedient is a tale set in the late 18th century, a period of relative calm between wars, a time when the colonial powers of Europe were achieving their greatest reach around the globe.
		In this story, HMS Expedient is sent off on just such a journey to the remote south-eastern corner of the Pacific, but there are shadowy figures in the admiralty, and the crew of Expedient are unaware of the real motivations behind their long and hazardous trip.
		Most of the Royal Navy was put into what they called ‘ordinary’, the ships were put into moth balls, and there were no sea actions, there were no great developments in tactics or anything like that, and it seemed to me that it was a period that hadn’t been mined very much by other writers.
