It is 1757, and the British navy is regrouping from a slow start to the Seven Years War.

A Spanish colonial governor and his family are pursued through the Caribbean by a pair of mysterious ships from the Dutch island of St. Eustatius. The British frigate Medina rescues the governor from his hurricane-wrecked ship, leading Captain Edward Carlisle and his first lieutenant George Holbrooke into a web of intrigue and half-truths. Are the Dutchmen operating under a letter of marque, or are they pirates, and why are they hunting the Spaniard? Only the diplomatic skills of Carlisle’s aristocratic wife, Lady Chiara, can solve the puzzle.

When Carlisle is injured, the young Holbrooke must grow up quickly. Under his leadership, Medina takes part in a one-sided battle with the French that will influence a young Horatio Nelson to choose the navy as a career.

The Jamaica Station follows the colonial post-captain and the Leeward Islands Squadron as the third of the Carlisle and Holbrooke naval adventures. The series will record the exploits of the two men through the Seven Years War and into the period of turbulent relations between Britain and her American colonies in the 1760s.

Chris Durbin continues to we’ve science, history, drama, intrigue, and a quick wit into a most compelling series based around the wartime adventures of Carlisle and Holbrook in the French and Indian war. I highly recommend the series and cannot wait to start book for.

Part three in a spellbinding maritime series of books

It has been a long time since I completed the Aubrey–Maturin (Master and Commander) books and have been seeking an equivalent series, which I found in the Carlisle and Holbrooke stories. The only objection is I prefer Steven Crossley narration to David Lane Pusey.

Aubrey–Maturin (Master and Commander) series equal

I enjoyed this audio book. Good history, ripping yarn, and well delivered. My only question: where is the rest of the series? I’m looking foto the rest.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the three books in this series, but found the new narrator to be distracting and somewhat confusing. Much preferred narrator for the first two books

Story better than narrator

While I found the narrator somewhat annoying in this tale as opposed to the last two in the series, it was an engaging tale well spun.

Another Good Story

Great story to follow the first 2
Few have written naval fiction covering this period and I love the dynamic between the 2 principles

I do wish they hadn’t changed narrator’s

Looking forward to #4

Excellent

I really like this book series. it is good historic fiction of naval adventures in the Seven Years' War (1756–1763).

But in this 3rd book, they changed the narrator for the worse. The new narrator will properly make me drop the series. He does not sound English and even pronounces Carlisle differently than the norm. All of this distracts from the story.

The narrator is so bad, it is keeping me from purchasing the next book in the series.

Great book - terrible narrator

Just adding to the lament of other reviews. The narrator is not terrible, but when you've become used to the voices performed by Stephen crossley, it is disappointing to have them changed in the third book of the series.

Missing Steven Crossley's narration

Narrator talks extremely fast! Hard to follow at times. Story was pretty good though. Thanks.
