About this listen

New York, 1777. As the American Revolution rages on the mainland, the British Navy prepares for action at sea. Against a growing fleet of American and French privateers, the Navy must maintain its blockade of Washington's vital military supplies. Caught up in the turmoil, junior officer Richard Bolitho finds himself having to make momentous decisions in the heat of battle, decisions that will affect the lives of many men, and perhaps the outcome of history.©1998 Alexander Kent (P)2014 Audible, Inc Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction War & Military Royal Navy Military War

Very good

Given that I read this one about a month or so ago and just downloaded Book 9 I think it's fair to say that I am a fan of this grand old series. I first read them as a teenager and into my early twenties which is more years ago than I care to remember, sometimes these days I feel as old as the characters in these books!

And I think that's the great thing about historical fiction, it tends to age better than most types of books for obvious reasons. I enjoyed this one pretty much as well as I did back then, plenty of action, likeable characters and the open seas!

A Series to Binge on?

Excellent narration by Michael Jayston, delivers the story perfectly. The novel, as usual is hard to put down.

I always enjoy the series. It's a great, relaxing, exciting read or listen while I’m drifting off to sleep. It's not too intense, but the storyline is great, and it's well worth a listen.
