Great series. Questionable ending.

Revisado: 01-26-25

Overall, great. But when I find myself yelling at the characters about the most obvious solution, it starts to seem like the characters are being dumb just to add drama. it didn't happen often, which is why I liked the series, but it happens at the end.

Again, great writing overall and definitely an enjoyable listen.

Original

Revisado: 06-20-22

I think ive read every historical fiction for the age of sail. The events in this book are wonderfully original and doesn't rely on old tropes. I enjoyed it immensely.

Another fun story

Revisado: 04-03-22

This is a very original story line in a genre in which it's difficult to be original. hope to listen to more in the series.

Just the thing

Revisado: 02-05-22

Another great story that infuses well known events, lesser known details, and a while lot of flashy.

Woke

Revisado: 11-19-21

I stopped at the point where miss sharp shooter CIA agent saved the day with a pistol while three armed male soldiers coward behind a car. Chapter 5.

I'm all for strong women in stories, but this is really getting too unrealistic and I can only believe wokeness is going to ruin all aspects of this book.

Up to this point there was nothing redeeming about the character development or story line. So I checked the reviews and decided it wasn't going to get better.

I think an author should be allowed to wonder across genras, but a bad book is a bad book and this is one in my opinion.

If you think woke comedians are funny, the you might find this book interesting, but for normal people, be warned.

Can't believe this was the author's first book

Revisado: 06-03-21

I would have guessed this was a pen name for Dewey Lambdin. John Lee read most of his books and I thought the writing style was similar. It was excellent and different. Like Jason Borne meets Allen Lewrie meets Sharpe.

If I could knock the story at all, I would just say that people don't die so easily as this book would suggest. Hardly a big deal.

Another great adventure

Revisado: 06-03-20

These books just keep getting better. I love how the author puts flashman in the thick of relatively obscure history. Great performance. The worst part is the waiting between book releases!

Fun story and characters

Revisado: 05-24-19

Can't wait for the rest of the series. The only issue is the editing. There are out-takes of the narrator left in the audio. It's not a big deal, but I figure you should be forewarned.

I have no known relation to the author.

Really liking this series

Revisado: 03-01-19

I think the author is really hitting his mark. Somewhat derivative of O'Brian and Forester but with his own twists and characters. I'm so glad to see something new and fresh in the genra.
