Well written

The language,style and contruction of the book was wonderful. The action is certainly less than that of Captain Blood but the essential adventure was present. The narration was not as good however and there was difficulty in charachter transition. Overall if you are a fan of Sabatini it is a great listen. Improve the narration and this would easily be 4 stars

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 849
George MacDonald Fraser, author of the Flashman novels, praises this hearty saga as "one of the great unrecognized novels of the 20th century." Doctor Peter Blood's quiet life is shattered when he is convicted of treason for helping a wounded nobleman in the 1685 rebellion against King James II.

Swashbuckling Read

If you are new to Audible and wish to start your subscription off with a clash, boom and a bang. This read is it. Great narration and well written, this book will keep you thrilled and spellbound all the way through. Sabatini creates the original "Pirates of the Carribean." A true bildungsroman. You will know right away this is where Walt must have gotten his nascent notion behind the ride. "Captain Blood" has had a long shelf life but it is still a fresh read. Avail yourself of a book credit when you procure this title.

Story5 out of 5 stars 34,445
When fifteen-year-old Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered, and, gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.
