About this listen

With the flash of cutlass and the roar of cannon fire, this sweeping saga of high-seas adventure continues—as the revolutionaries’ fight for freedom explodes into all-out war.

It’s the winter of 1776, a year that brings with it a fiery new spirit of colonial independence. Tensions simmering over a decade have finally come to a boil, and the rebel government in Philadelphia, determined to cast off the chains of British tyranny, has authorized the creation of the United States Navy—a brazen act of American aggression against the greatest maritime power in the world.

Still battered from her fight in Bermudan waters, the brig-of-war Charlemagne, under Captain Isaac Biddlecomb, sets sail on a daring mission to raid the British store of arms on New Providence Island in the Bahamas. But even as the captain takes the lead in the first amphibious assault in American naval history, he discovers that his greatest enemy is an undisciplined crew led to the brink of mutiny by their sectional hatreds.

Beset by treachery and betrayal, in danger of losing his command and his ship, Biddlecomb must find a way to unite his men against a cruel and common foe, as the Royal Navy prepares to sink the Charlemagne—and the revolution—under the merciless blasts of its guns.

SUPERB HISTORICAL ACCURACY AND DETAILS.

Granted, men will appreciate perhaps the language of the sea and Navy more than women here; however - as one of the feminine set - even I really got into this tome. 3rd in the Biddlecomb series by Nelson, I look forward to hearing more about Virginia Stanton in the 4th.

wonderful!

love this whole series just as good as the others. The depth of the characters in the struggle that they have to do with as far as personnel Yankees versus Southerners was very realistic and well thought out It takes a while to set up the whole thing but on board ship at that time it would take a while for things to set in masterfully written as always

The historical accuracy and nitration was excellent.

I was pleased to hear characters accents were distinguishable from each other and done well. The story line was easy to follow and understood. The action sequences seemed very realistic. Overall this audio book was a satisfying listen.
