Summary
On the eve of Waterloo, a sense of finality and cautious hope pervade a nation wearied by decades of war. But peace will present its own challenges to Adam Bolitho, captain of His Majesty's Ship Unrivalled, as many of his contemporaries face the prospect of discharge. The life of a frigate captain is always lonely, even more so for Adam, mourning the death of his uncle. He is, more than ever, alone, within the Royal Navy, where the only constants are the sea and those enemies who conspire to destroy him.
Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

Audible please check download quality
Great book but sound quality of first few chapters appalling. Audible this must have slipped through your quality control somehow.

Awful audio quality.
Michael Jayston is a wonderful narrator and Alexander Kent is usually a good read. Unfortunately, I have to give this audiobook a one-star because of the awful audio quality. The source is obviously an audio-tape which is sometimes OK, but quality as poor as this is not acceptable. I will return this book.

Abysmal recording quality, great story but spoiled by the recording
To be honest it’s difficult to review this audio book simply because the recording was so poor. And I mean (don’t bother listening to it in the car poor) you won’t understand half of it.
Truly spoiled what was probably an excellent story.

Poor Sound Track?
Yes, but it’s an old recording that has not weathered the passage of time well.
Another great story, we will all miss Sir Richard but Adam has stepped up to carry on our adventures together!

Sound quality of narration poor and errors in chapter structure
Right from the start the sound quality on this is dreadful …. sounds as if the narrator is speaking from inside a cupboard and with distortion and sibilance in the recording.
The chapter breaks, as shown by the text labels as the story unfolds, are all consistently out by several minutes to the voiced chapter breaks …. more of an annoyance than a problem.
The sound quality ruined this book for me and I gave up after a few hours of trying to get used to it …. sub-standard and a long way short of the more than 30 other audio books I have listened to.
