About this listen

 The year is 1793. The island nations of the South Pacific, having suffered at the hands of Tonga's evil King Tui'puloto for too long, are poised on the brink of civil war. When two heroic young warriors, Sevesi and Hiki, dare to challenge the king's absolute power, they only narrowly escape with their lives. The pair seek sanctuary with the rebel tribes of Ha'apai. But instead of finding a safe haven, they are accused of being spies. Meanwhile, as the British and French continue their relentless quest to colonise the South Pacific, one of their ships is hijacked, dragging both empires into the greatest tribal war the Pacific has ever known. Lords of the Pacific is an unforgettable tale of love, revenge and war set in the one of the world's last great frontiers.©2009 Lords of the Pacific Grant Hyde (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction Fiction War Inspiring

Critic Reviews

The book’s a bit of a cross between Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O’Brien and vintage Wilbur. Damn good stuff... (Tony Park, author of African Dawn and many more.)
This is a page-turning adventure enriched by a passion for 18th-century maritime history. (The Age)
All stars

Book is interesting, but the narrator spoiled the whole Book. He puts on voices for the different characters, and uses the same voices for all other characters in the book. very annoying, distracting & hard to listen to. the book should be re-read by someone else in a normal reading voice.
