As a boy in Virginia, Sutton used to dig up civil war bullets-Minie balls-on the property of a friend and this sparked an interest in history that followed him into the University of California Berkeley, the College of William & Mary and which remains strong today. In a previous life, Sutton wrote manuals for laser and sonar guided systems and learned how to communicate complex subjects-such as the workings of a three-masted, square-rigged frigate as you see in his novels-with clarity, if not humor or verve. Those he has reserved for fiction.
