Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.

It was an age of empire, an age of contrast, and an age of dramatic change - and one which would determine the destinies of nations as well as of men.

In the torturous heat of Africa, where they are sent to stamp out the remaining strongholds of slavery, and later, in the bitter war of the Crimea, Philip Blackwood and his men learn to obey it without question.

Story
Jack London worshiped strong and virtuous heroes, and his stories give great weight to the inevitable triumph of good over evil. His telling of the adventures of Humphrey van Weydon in The Sea Wolf is in keeping with this theme of moral man. His powerful and gripping saga of van Weydon's capture by a seal-hunting ship and the ensuing tangles with its dreaded captain, Wolf Larsen, makes this a classic American tale of peril and victory.

Story
It is 1780, and 17-year-old Alan Lewrie is a brash, rebellious young libertine. So much so that his callous father believes a bit of naval discipline will turn the boy around. Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.

Story
The year: 1943. Now there was to be no more retreat for Britain and her Allies. At last the war was to be carried into enemy territory. And from captured bases and makeshift harbours in North Africa, the Royal Navy's Special Force was to be the probe and the spearhead of the advance. To this unorthodox war came the corvette H. M. S. Thistle and her commanding officer, John Crispin.

Story
Kit Brightling, rescued as a foundling and raised in a home for talented girls, has worked hard to rise through the ranks of the Isles' Crown Command and become one of the few female captains in Queen Charlotte's fleet. Her ship is small, but she's fast - in part because of Kit's magical affinity to the sea. But the waters become perilous when the queen sends Kit on a special mission with a partner she never asked for. Rian Grant, Viscount Queenscliffe, may be a veteran of the Continental war, but Kit doesn't know him or his motives....

Story
Of The Lion of St. Mark, G.A. Henty wrote: "I have laid my story in the time not of the triumphs of Venice but of her hardest struggle for existence, when she defended herself successfully against the coalition of Hungary, Padua, and Genoa, for never at any time were the virtues of Venice, her steadfastness, her patriotism, and her willingness to make all sacrifice for her independence more brilliantly shown.

Story
An unforgettable story of children in wartime, of heroism at sea, and - above all - of courage and the power of the human spirit. On September 17, 1940, at a little after 10 at night, a German submarine torpedoed the passenger liner S.S. City of Benares in the North Atlantic. There were 406 people on board, but the ship's prized passengers were 90 children whose parents had elected to send their boys and girls away from Great Britain to escape the ravages of World War II. They were considered lucky, headed for quiet, peaceful, and relatively bountiful Canada.

Very good
Started slow but ended with a bang. I wish I knew more about sailing to more appreciate the ship's maneuvers.

Good Book - performance lacking
The book was good, although maybe not quite as strong as the earlier 3 in this series. The reader, however, was not as good as the reader on the first three. His voice was not as strong (I often had to turn the sound nearly to max to catch the action) and his accents not as well done or believable. I asked myself if it was just that I was used to the previous reader, but I do not believe that was the issue. It spoiled the book somewhat for me.
I would still recommend the book to anyone.

Much better after a slow start
Overall ok, but not the best of the 4. Starts slowly, but picks up after Chapter 13. I FF thru the ever increasing navel gazing of Hayden. Overall, still worth the listen.

Love this series
My only question for Mr. Russell is, when can we expect book five in this well-written series?

Well written story line. The author has a wide understanding of the ways of the sailing of the tall ships.

Did someone else ghost write this?
What did you like best about Until the Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead? What did you like least?
I liked the first three books by this author in this series, but this one not so much. The plot was disjointed and had many scenes that causes this sailor, who has experience on a square rigged ship, to roll his eyes in disbelief. However, my biggest disappointment in the book was the ending...it was both abrupt with unnecessary sadness as well as lacking in closure. Finally, the author choose a new narrator for this book whose performance paled when compared to his predecessor.

Captain Hayden’s Adventures
Can’t wait for the fifth volume for the next adventures. An adult ‘Horacio Hornblower’, in the tradition of the master of this genre, Patrick O’Brian.

Too much mush.
Should have been labeled a romance, more than an adventure. Farfetched and predictable. Not a favorite.

An Excellent Continuation of the Series
S. Thomas Russell continues to knock it out of the park with his Charles Hayden series in "Until the Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead." This is not my normal genre of books to read (or listen to). I happened upon the first in the series, "Under Enemy Colors," on audio in a used book store for very cheap, and have never looked back.
Twists and turns, engaging from the start, I cannot recommend all of the books in this series enough, even if naval books aren't your thing.
