About this listen

The scene is Gibraltar, 1793. The gathering might of revolutionary France prepares to engulf Europe in another bloody war. As in the past, Britain will stand or fall by the fighting power of her fleet. For Richard Bolitho, the renewal of hostilities means a fresh command and the chance of action.

Just right now I can't get enough of these, Book 11 and I am still choosing to go on to the next rather than try something else each time though maybe with a new Thomas Kydd book I coming out I should take a break soon!

This is one of my favourites of the series so far and has it all from Michael Jayston's excelent narration to lots of action and intrigue. I'm going straight on to the next one!

I read all these books years ago when I was sailing tall ships professionally, first as a topman and finally as master . I loved them and still do. yes they sometimes come across with a bit to much hero worship but they are still great yarns and I'd recommend.

Richard Bolitho is a legend

A most enjoyable journey in good company and very well narrated. Till next time then.

Great to be at sea again

A much more refined work than many of those earlier in the chronology and a more nuanced story than his previous wife poaching escapade.

One of the Best
