Pretty good!

This story was entertaining and well acted. My only complaint was the slightly too long descriptions of things going on the war ship. I got a little bored during that part. Overall, a great listen , though.
Great fun

It is 1796 and Lt. Ramage is serving on HMS Sibella. The book starts off right in the middle of a battle. The action continues throughout the book. Ramage is rich, a nobleman, father was an admiral, lived in Tuscany as child and speaks Italian and French. Ramage is a Lieutenant in this book. Napoleon has attacked Italy. The Captain of the HMS Sibella was ordered to rescue some Italian Nobles. Ramage continues the assignment after HMS Sibella was sunk and all officers except him are dead. I found the Court Marshall hearing fascinating could not stop listening.
There is so much suspense and action in the book but Pope does work in some humor and a romance. The beautiful Italian Marquesa Ramage rescued, turned out it was with her family he lived when he was a child. He and Lady Gianna fall in love. Pope has created some interesting characters and a plot full of adventure, daring rescues, heroic feats, great sea battles and romance. This is book one of a series. If you like historical nautical fiction circa 1790’s you will enjoy this story. Steven Crossley did a good job narrating the book.
Engaging

Patrick O'Brian/Jack Aubrey to Alexander Kent/Richard Bolitho and numerous others.
After listening to the 1st chapter of Ramage,the 1st in a series of novels by
Dudley Pope......So far I'm impressed.The beginning is different than any other novel like this in how it sets up the character in a bit of action from the get go.If the rest of the book continues in this vein[and I expect it to] I will have discovered a hidden treasure trove series of novels that I will continue to buy if Audible co-operates.After listening to the entire book I will modify and complete this review.

Would you consider the audio edition of Ramage to be better than the print version?
I often find that a good narrator, and Steven Crossley is just excellent, breathes life to the prose.....thus making a richer experience of the story....and of course the story is everything. I have listened to many books narrated by Steven Crossley and he is one of my most favorites.What was one of the most memorable moments of Ramage?
The revelation that he had not failed his dutyWhat does Steven Crossley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is a master of cadence and emphasis bringing just the right touch to each character he playsGreat Action in the day of Fighting Sail!
