Riveting historical tale
Revisado: 08-14-20
I read some of Hornblower when I was young but this audiobook takes the story to a whole new level!
The narration is outstanding and suits the literary style perfectly.
Highly recommended, particularly for seafaring folk who can understand some of the mariner terms used throughout.

For Gabriel and his beautiful wife, Chiara, it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London - a visit to an art gallery in St. James’s to authenticate a newly discovered painting by Titian, followed by a quiet lunch at an Italian restaurant along the Strand. But a pair of deadly bombings in Paris and Hamburg has already marred this sparkling autumn day. And while walking along Wellington Street, the ever-vigilant Gabriel notices a man whom he believes is about to carry out a third attack.

Excellent performance but far fetched.
Revisado: 05-24-17
The performance by the reader is close to faultless and helps to make the story deeply intriguing and entertaining.
The story itself however, I personally found a little hard to believe. The key points in the plot seemed quite unlikely scenarios. On the whole though, a very entertaining listen

The story begins in 1629, when the pride of the Dutch East India Company, the Batavia, is on its maiden voyage en route from Amsterdam to the Dutch East Indies, laden down with the greatest treasure to leave Holland. The magnificent ship is already boiling over with a mutinous plot that is just about to break into the open when, just off the coast of Western Australia, it strikes an unseen reef in the middle of the night.

Captivating
Revisado: 08-24-16
Such a captivating story! I am totally enthralled and eager to hear what happens next at each turning point. The historical context makes it even more incredible but this audio book can stand next to any entirely fictional tale with the same level of drama. Love it!
