Book Rating: 5/5
I have enjoyed Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series. I have enjoyed British Navy stories of the Napoleon era since I was in high school. I did not care for this readers narration as much as I have the usual reader of the series. Anyone looking for a good story of frigates under sale will enjoy this book. Now I know what blue at the Mizzen means. I had heard the expression before but now I know what it mean. You will have to listen to find out.
