1796. John Pearce is stuck with a difficult mission, a crew of Quota Men forced to enlist in the Royal Navy, four new midshipmen as well as Samuel Oliphant, companion cum spy, whom he finds a constant irritant.

In his favour, he commands HMS Hazard, a speedy warship, a pair of competent officers and, of course, his trusty friends the Pelicans. Their mission is to head for the Mediterranean Fleet and warn Admiral Sir John Jervis of impending danger he will face, fighting a combined French/Spanish fleet. But there is a serious distraction—the imminent arrival of a Spanish vessel from South America carrying silver, for which the Spaniards are waiting before declaring war.

Can John Pearce resist the lure of such a valuable capture and risk his ship in a dangerous battle to gain it, or will his duty come first?

I was not happy with the change of narrator but persevered and after 1/2 hour I was hooked into both the story and storyteller, his Irish accent needs some work but apart from that I enjoyed it immensely. Great story, well read.

Pleasantly Surprised

Why oh why change the narrator after 15 excellent books? The characters were all new and so different than before, it really spoiled the story for me and magnified a weak story.
I have enjoyed every book up to this one, is this just a book to fare?

The narrator was very good, but it wasnt great that everyone's accents had changed 😀 great character development

Great tale which continues

Yes it would be nice to have Peter Wickham narrating. But it was extremely well read with good voice.

I would urge narrators to read the book before (e.g captain of the Bedford was in my recollection from the north east) and O'Hagan is from the South of Ireland. But small points.

And yes seems a half-book, but still a reasonably weighty volume, c10h listen.

And yes, a lot of repetition of the past books, but less so than previous books (maybe a preface would solve this).

Half the book, like the recent 50% of this series, is based on what we have previously listened too. Very poor value for money, surely a story can move forward and not have to fill the pages with items from previous books in the same series. Extremely disappointed.

Yet another book based on previous books
