About this listen

It is 1793, for love of war and money....

Once a French corvette, she was reborn HMS Jester, sleek and fast. At her sea-sprayed helm is former Midshipman Alan Lewrie, turned grizzled warrior by trade. But when Commander Lewrie reaches the island of Corsica, he gets orders for which even he is not prepared: lure his archenemy, French commander Guillaume Choundas, into battle - and personally strike him dead.

From splintering-hulled ships battling broadside to exotic ports of call, the adventures of Alan Lewrie capture an age of heroism and action on the great, wind-lashed fighting ships.

Entertaining plot with lots of new areas being introduced. Still having to put up with the poor grasp of pronunciation in the narration but the story is good.

Continuing adventures!

a good story, backed up with historical facts; which gives a sense or realism, and context to the story. the sense of concern over decisions, naval and personal comes over as factual. being social right, and being a colonial, brings another dimension.
