Good series to listen to

A friend gave me the first book named Kydd and I loved it. Since then I have listened to all the rest

The Hero Advances

I like the stories of Kydd's continuing climb. Entertaining, and with the right narrator. Rodska is excellent.

Very fun book

Pure entertainment with a little history thrown in by a talented writer! In the tradition of Obrien and Forester - he tells some fun tales that make us root for Tom Kidd!

Rousing Fine Tale!

Great story, in series or alone. The lunar solution to navigation occurred much as described - A truly brilliant and lifesaving solution. I’m not sure about the duck, though. It’s a superb story read with natural feeling.

Great story! But small problem.

The problem starts with the 6th chapter. The book immersion gets out of sync with the audio!
It's like they used a recording that had to stop to download the rest of the book!
For the rest of the book, the audio is always one page behind what is being displayed on the written page.
I like to read the book at the same time that I listen to it.
And of course, it is always disconcerting when the moving type stops one page before the end of the chapter, while the audio continues; but a lot of books are like that, for some reason.

A very good yarn & a favorite narrator

I always enjoy finding a good story and having the talented Christian Rodka read it to me. PS: it’s fun to see him in the credits on British tv.
