Wow! This series corrupted my pandemic shelter time so much that I started cursing like the characters. Then my daughter started doing the same without reading the books. FML.

Refreshingly Uplifting

Revisado: 02-26-20

It is a joy to experience a book in which there is no disaster to dodge or villain to vanquish, This trader's tale transports us to a future without the horrible conditions of the "Golden" age of sailing. And it models the behaviors we all can appreciate - camaraderie, cooperation, and collaboration. Thank you, Nathan Lowell. And kudos, Jeffrey Kafer, for making this a great listening time.

Romantic Penny Dreadful

Revisado: 08-11-19

I don't fantasize about having sex with other species, so I guess I'm not the target audience The concept of an anthropologist studying a community of shape shifters intrigued me. Until the protagonist started to focus on getting her daily dose of dragon dick. I'm no prude, but the literary value of discussing the temperature of spent dragon semen eluded me...

if teen angst is your thing,

Revisado: 08-11-19

If you can relate to a perpetual 15 year old boy in his 90th year of high school, then you might like this. I felt creepy reading it and returned for a full refund.

Dick Hill's narration is distinctive.

Revisado: 10-22-18

hills narrative is at first disconcerting. i worried about him keeling over in mid-sentence. Then, after i grew accustomed to his cadence, i found it annoying. not because of him. because he KNEW he was making us wait on the edge of our seats for him to finish the damned paragraph. well played, Mr Hill. Well played indeed.

Sinoe County...the "i" is pronounced like "eye".

Revisado: 08-31-18

Grated my ears like nails on a chalkboard every time I heard it mispronounced. Spoiled the narrative. Inexcusable since the book is about the folks who emigrated to Sinoe.

Better than the movie script!

Revisado: 07-17-18

I wasn't aware that there are several significant differences between the book and the movie. Now that I have finished the book, I wish I had read it a long time ago. Much more believable, thoughtful, and lyrical.

I spent the entire time during my listening drinking sake and yelling random Japanese phrases from the book.

Outdated

Revisado: 11-21-17

This book is based on outdated research. In 2018, there is no clear evidence that the suggested analyses are reliable. Returned for a refund.

A "Navel" Adventure?

Revisado: 06-13-16

Would you listen to The King's Privateer again? Why?

Dewey Lambdin's descriptions of naval procedures are fascinating. His formula of mixing action, historical details, and gratuitous lust is predictable but engaging. I still laugh each time I see the misspelling of "Naval" on the cover.

What about John Lee’s performance did you like?

John Lee has a seemingly unbounded range of accents and tones which make following the various characters both easy and delightful.
