Patrick Tull makes this book great
Patrick Tull is one of his masterpiece performances. I have read all 22 of his books (Patrick O’Brien) thing that probably. That's the thing that pushed his works over the top Wall Patrick tols narration, his way of speaking and you know who is speaking. And he doesn't miss a beat when he talks over any kind of mechanical things.

This just kept me coming back for

another wonderfully written sea story

O'Brian was running out of real history by this point and was beginning to rely on set pieces, but this is still worth reading if for no other reason than to advance the main story arc. Also it has a significant female character for a change.

Decent story, but not the best.

I loved it. Another great book sailing, adventure and prizes. I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

Fantastic book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
the audio needs editing, too many gaps with no sound then abruptly cutting back in. at least fill the gaps with the same background noise as the rest of the reading, (Patrick Tull breathing, other narrators narrating, etc.)

I thought the book left too much hanging. Steven was too indiscreet giving up the name of Sir Joseph to who could very easily have been planted by the French or Americans to get that very information. and there was something in the air about Clarissa that I feel wasn't fully explained by her story. perhaps we haven't heard the last of her.

Being alive aboard Obrians ship at sea in 1500’s. Glorious, epic, and no social media!

Sea adventure with all my senses!

Good story, great series, didn't like the reader. To much breathing and mouth sounds for my liking.
