About this listen

Nick Turnhouse is a Dorset farmhand, a third son with nothing to inherit and no future, working his father's land for his keep. He is also tall, powerfully built, and handsome, and crosses the path of Squire's impressionable daughter.

Nick has to run, fast, with ten shillings and his father's blessing. Luckily, or so he thinks, he comes across a kind gentleman who can help him. After Nick is persuaded to say that he is looking for work, he discovers the man is recruiting for the Navy, and Nick has just 'volunteered in fact'.

Once at sea, he is amazed to discover that he is not stupid—he has simply had no occasion to use his brain plodding on the farm. He can learn and fight, and wishes to do both, finding his chance to rise in the nautical world.

The Man From Bere is the first of Nick's adventures on sea and occasionally on land.

Was this AI reading this book after I sped up the audio it got some what better

Poor audio

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This must be an AI reader and a bad one at that. It's really super slow with a weird cadence. Lot's of words pronounced incorrectly as well. Too bad because it's a good story. Shame on you Audible for zero quality assurance.
