DESCRIPTION:
Unbridged CD Audiobook Narrated by Patrick Tull
The best, period. The best nautical historical fiction ever written, period. O'Brian researched exhaustively and infused a lifetime of passion, expertise, and emotion into every volume. The books are not only infinitely readable, they're page burners, each and every one, with laudable character development and environmental description that put you firmly in the midst of what you're reading, There is such a wealth of description, you'll want a dictionary, thesaurus, and an atlas at hand when you dive in. Trust me when I tell you, buy them all, because you won't be able. Some terrific scenes Ranger's Dad Once more O'brian has crafted a great sea story . You feel the tension on the quarterdeck as a chase and later a near disaster occurs. A bit more of this takes place on shore than I would prefer, but still a very entertaining read.. One of his best thus far! This book particularly abounds with suspense and drama.We have an extended chase, a ship wreck, capture by the French resulting in a close brush with old enemies and Diana behaving as true and nobly as she always has been capable of, even though she's often fallen short and behaved badly, instead.If you didn't love O'Brian before, this one will certainly endear him to you now.
