Resumen del Editor
At the opening of a voyage filled with disaster and delight, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are in pursuit of a privateer sailing under American colours through the Great South Sea. Stephen's objective is to set the revolutionary tinder of South America ablaze to relieve the pressure on the British government which has blundered into war with the young and uncomfortably vigorous United States. The shock and barbarity of hand-to-hand fighting are sharpened by O'Brian's exact sense of period, his eye for landscape and his feel for a ship under sail.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Now: Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s.

Historia
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

4th book, still on same voyage.
Would you listen to The Wine-Dark Sea again? Why?
Just relistened the whole series this far, to get a better picture of the whole.
Any additional comments?
And it's still great. Best series ever, with not a hint of quality drop.

Jack, Stephen, a French Utopian, Prizes, and Peru
“A purple ocean, vast under the sky and devoid of all visible life, apart from two minute ships racing across its immensity. They were as close-hauled to the somewhat irregular north-east trades as ever they could be, with every sail they could safely carry and even more, their bowlines twanging taut: they had been running like this day after day, sometimes so far apart that each saw only the other’s top sails above the horizon, sometimes within gunshot; and when this was the case, they fired at one another with their chasers.”
The War of 1812 is ongoing. The Surprise (an obsolete British privateer owned and captained by Jack Aubrey) is chasing the Franklin (a smart American privateer owned by a French utopian aristocrat called Dutourd) towards Peru, where the intelligence-agent (don't call him spy) and Jack’s close friend Stephen Maturin is supposed to help foment rebellion against Spanish rule. Stephen is a hater of tyranny, especially that of Bonaparte (while for some reason finding England a force for autonomy and independence) but also that of Castilian Spain against his Catalan home.
A chewer of coca leaves “as a relief from mental or spiritual distress and physical or intellectual weariness as well as a source of benignity and general well-being,” Stephen is looking forward to getting a fresh supply (his previous one having been completely eaten by rats!). An accomplished naturalist, he is also looking forward to seeing South American flora and fauna (like the condor) and geographical features like the Andes.
O'Brian efficiently brings readers new to the series up to speed on naval and intelligence matters, as well as on Stephen's wife at home, Diana. He also uses the convenient presence of Stephen's friend and fellow landlubber Martin (ship's chaplain and sub-surgeon after Stephen) to explain age-of-sail nautical matters to the uninformed reader (like this one!).
There will be plenty of action in this one: sea pursuits and battles, an underwater volcano eruption, an Andes snowstorm. There will be medical interventions. Vivid descriptions of flora and fauna in varied marine and exotic land settings. Political maneuverings. Informative letter writing (especially by Stephen to Diana), and good violin and cello playing. All quite absorbing and entertaining.
It's just always so good to spend some time with the best bosom buddies Jack and Stephen: “Tell me brother, has no one told you what is afoot?” and “God love you Jack, what things you tell me,” and—
“Will I confess a grave sin?” he asked.
“Do, by all means,” said Jack, looking at him kindly. “But if you managed to commit a grave sin between the gunroom and here, you have a wonderful capacity for evil.”
Stephen took a piece of biscuit, tapping at it mechanically, brushed away the weevil frass, and said, “I was in a wicked vile temper, so I was too, and I flew out at Dutourd and Rousseau.”
And the supporting characters like the shrewish Killick and Jack’s natural son Sam and the two Melanesian girls Sarah and Emily are appealing. Dutourd (an educated man with money to fund his utopian dreams) is complex enough for an antagonist: naïve, passionate, idealistic, and loose-tongued.
And there’s just so much prime writing throughout! Like--
The Andes:
“He reached the top, but only just, and stood there controlling or trying to control his violent gasps while Eduardo named the great shining snowy peaks that soared on either hand and in front, all rising like islands from an orange belt of cloud, one behind the other, all brilliant in the cold transparent air.”
A whale:
“To windward there was a vast expiring sigh as a sperm whale surfaced, black in a coruscation of green light, an enormous solitary bull. His spout drifted across the launch itself, and he could be heard drawing in the air, breathing for quite some time; then easily, smoothly, he shouldered over and dived, showing his flukes in a final blaze.”
A sudden pitch of the ship:
“He was in the act of pouring a glass when the ship pitched with such extraordinary violence, pitched as though she had fallen into a hole, that he very nearly fell, and the glass left the wine in the air, a coherent body for a moment.”

The series is sinking slowly
Too ponderous by far, the series has run out of wind and totally becalmed. The writer is just milking the series and probably should have ceased a few books ago.
