Great series now only if Audible had the next book

both the story and performance of the narrator were very well done. a unique twist to some of the usual story lines you see from this era.

now only if Audible would get the rest of the series available. They seem to stock every 3 book.

Well written

Well written and very enjoyable. I really love stories within that timeframe. He writes very well with lots of detail to get you right there with them.

Fantastic sailing adventure...

...full of hard seas, cannon shot, pirates, foreign ports, treachery, spies and bold action! Awesome!

The Regal Lady he loved, got keelhauled by pyrates!

This story moved, characters are distinct. If I'm not mistaken, Belitho is unaware his true love has been murdered after the really excellent ship's battle at the end. no matter what, the ship comes first!

Kent has a great story to tell...

I love the story line and Bolitho and his shipmates are great characters, but Alexander Kent needs to learn to express himself better. Run a tally for every time a character simply "said" or "asked". No adjectives or alternatives like exclaimed or pondered. Nope. Just said or asked. The count is way too high.
