Firstly I have to say that this was a very enjoyable experience all round. I'm English, but my knowledge of the Civil War is a bit sketchy. This wonderfully researched and written account of one of the pivotal episodes in the conflict has rekindled my interested in this devastating and bloody 17th conflict that dramatically divided my homeland. The author has done a thorough job in researching the materials for the project and spinning a wonderful narrative around the events on Britain's south coast. Being a researcher and writer on the subject of terrorism and conflict resolution, I can relate to the very exacting level of detail that has gone into this significant historical work.
Which brings me to the Audible version of this book. I will say that the narration by Jon C. Dixon was absolutely first rate. His tone, inflection, and pacing was just spot on and pulled me into the story. Dixon's rich dulcet tones run the spectrum from calming and measured to edgy and tense, picking up witty and humorous along the way as the action, and intrigue, ebb and flow with a delivery that is both masterful and highly entertaining. The experience is made all the more immersive and vivid by the very tasteful use of sound effects and incidental music, all of which mingle and merge with the author's words and Dixon's delivery in what has to be one of the best Audible experiences I have enjoyed to date.
This is a work of historical significance in the field of the English Civil War, but it is also a highly entertaining and immersive listen that should not be missed. All involved - author, narrator, and producer, should be congratulated on what is a remarkable achievement. Final word on this book - to any fellow author looking to have their works brought to life in an immersive and totally enjoyable experience - you would do well to check out the work of Jon Dixon and his producer. Josh Total and consummate professionals.
