About this listen

September 1804: England stands alone against France and the fleets of Spain, anticipating invasion. Vice-admiral Richard Bolitho has his own troubles to settle at home too. But his time on land is broken by an urgent summons from the King. Once more Bolitho hoists his flag above the veteran 74-gun ship Hyperion and sets sail - this time with a new squadron headed for the Caribbean. Ordered to plan and effect a daring raid on the Spanish Main, Bolitho spares himself nothing - from there to Antigua, where he rediscovers a passion that defies every convention and threatens his reputation. And the future of the Hyperion is at risk too. Set to clear the path to victory, there is a constant fear that this may be her final battle.

I have enjoyed the story but very annoying that the narrator has suddenly changed the pronunciation of Richard Bolytho!

like the story but

A good performance from Jayston usual. Incredibly happy to note that “grimace” is now pronounced “grim-ass” as opposed to “grim-ace”, which has been winding me up. But why, oh why, 19 books in has the pronunciation of “Bolitho” changed from “Bol-eye-though” to “Bol-ee-though”. At the direction of the author perhaps, but seems odd so far in. It’s very grating.

Why?!

Why oh why after 18 books in the series does Michael Jayson change the way he pronounces “Bolitho”

Frustration

Story as good as ever but totally spoilt by ridiculous and continual mispronunciation of Bolitho. Very much enjoying the series but if it continues then I shall regretfully pull the plug and ditch it!

Taking the ******
