About this listen

Winter 1793. Master and Commander Charles Hayden’s orders are to return to the ill-fated frigate, HMS Themis. Placed in temporary command, he is to join the escort for the last convoy of the season - braving the wintry seas. Hayden's uncanny knack for attracting the attention of the French navy sees the Themis thrown back into action only hours out of port. Soon, Hayden's captaincy and military skill are stretched to their utmost as he finds himself at the vanguard of this brutal clash of empires.

Excellent story and very well read by Nick Boulton.

Easily on a par with any of the Thomas Kydd series by Julian Stockwin, read by Christian Rodska, or the Horatio Hornblower series by C S Forester also read by Christian Rodska.

I'm looking forward to this whole series.

A great adventure, well told and well read.

If you like this genre and enjoy writers such as Alexander Kent then you should enjoy this. The story includes familiar types of encounters with a few twists. It is well read with sound characterisation.

A fine nautical romp
