About this listen

 This two volume work is the autobiography of Lord Cochrane, a naval captain of the Napoleonic period. His adventures are seminal to the development of naval fiction as a genre. Marryat sailed with Cochrane, while later writers borrowed incidents from this biography for their fictions. Most notable among these is Patrick O'Brian, three of whose novels have clear parallels to incidents in the life of Cochrane. This first volume covers Cochrane's earlier life, during which he is most active militarily. (Introduction by Timothy Ferguson)Copyright Mentor New York Art Literary History & Criticism World

Narrator has an amateur charm, reads well with some minor audio issues and the story is great. Audible puts a bunch of ads in the beginning of each chapter which is pretty terrible (but it’s free).

It’s part of Libravox, which is public domain, narrated by volunteers, so download the Libravox app and enjoy without radio commercials for free.

The terrible ads Audible added each chapter
