I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this audio book. But we loved it! My children [and my husband and I] were enthralled with the story. It made the time go by quickly on our journey. We are very particular about what we listen to, and we gave this one a hearty thumbs-up. Captivating, kept our attention, and our 5-year-old wants to be a "hero" now! Rating - Good Book Excellent Book for young boys (bought this for my nephew) but also for adults who enjoyed books like Treasure Island or Count of Monte Cristo. Very enjoyable to read. Rating - Outstanding read for all ages!!! This story was filled with adventure and character traits often missing in today's society. It will thrill you and take you back to the childhood fantasy of your youth. Loved it!!! Rating - Riveting Here's an adventure tale that will keep you turning the pages long after your bedtime, maneuvering with young Nicholas McIver through treacherous waters off the coast of England in 1939 and 1805. Even when our hero and his endearing little sister are enveloped in a pea soup fog, the narrative is crisp and clear. While other maritime adventures get tangled in creaking verbosity, here the taut lines sing. The clarity of the prose makes this complex plot accessible even to reluctant readers. Chapters leave you dangling from the yardarms straining for a glimpse of what comes next. The squeamish might cringe at some details in the battle scenes, but those few gruesome images quickly give way to the triumph of good over evil. Add this finely crafted adventure yarn to your list of books for pre-teens and middle schoolers. It's good, clean fun for grown-ups too.
