It is 1796 and a diminutive, Corsican-born French general has inherited a ragtag army and turned it into an unstoppable fighting force. Within months, Napoleon's storm rolls across Italy and strikes a lethal blow against the Austrian empire.
But while the soil of Piedmont and Tuscany runs with blood, another battle takes shape on the mysterious Adriatic Sea. Alan Lewrie and his 18-gun sloop, HMS Jester, part of a squadron of four British warships, sail into the thick of it. But with England's alies failing, Napoleon busy rearranging the world map, and their squadron streched dangerously thin along the Croation coast, the British squadron commander strikes a devils bargain: enlisting the aid of Serbian pirates.

What did you like best about Jester's Fortune? What did you like least?
A good history of more obscure naval activities in the Adriatic. But I would have liked a bit more military action with real combatants rather than beating up on the illegal merchant trade. A unusual glimpse into muslim and non muslim sensibilities of 200 years ago that still are inplay today. Who would have thought that the Brits would play this race card, even in a clandestine fashion. In this book and the last 2 books in the series, John Lee has been merciless to my ears in his rendition of other than English pronounciations. John spare your loyal listeners your take on French, German, Serbian, etc.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The sailing part.most interesting.The military action and its time in history also of interest. The hero's lustful torments is the least interesting.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Yes, speak clear English only.Do you think Jester's Fortune needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
There's a long series of books.Any additional comments?
noNarrator should stick to English pronounciations

Where does Jester's Fortune rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the eighth book in the series which is very entertaining. Unfortunately the next book is not available in audio formate. The one after that is in audio but its hit and miss from then on. I did read the entire series and I am currently reading the latest book on my kindle. I should say that most of these I read several years ago. As far as ranking I can't decide. It's like one continuous story. Some exciting times, some not so much, but fun and entertaining.What other book might you compare Jester's Fortune to and why?
The entire Dewey Lambdin series.Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Just the other Lambdin books. He is excellent.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Not for kids.Pretty good
