About this listen
Jacob Fletcher is unsure of his parentage, but he does know that, as an apprentice, he couldn't legally be seized by the press gang. This particular gang, however, doesn't abide by the law.
Fletcher finds himself risking life, limb, and sea sickness to save his fortune now at risk of being lost to his evil step-mother and loathsome half-brothers.

worth a listen
This is a bit different than your typical Hornblower esk story. Fletcher is more human, a bit of a rogue. There is also a bigger plot. It is very much told in a human voice. I can't attest to its literary genius, but that isn't what I want from this sort of thing anyway.
The production has not had a final edit, so there is a sentence repeated every page. A bit like a live reading. A shame because it is otherwise we'll recoded with clear and even sound levels. but it didn't actually annoy me and still worth listening to.
The narrator is good. A little young, I associate him with children's stories (which this is not really). He slightly slaughters nautical terms, but I guess these are arguable anyway. As I say it is still worth listening to.
Point to note, this appears to be most definitely the first book, despite some confusion on Audible that suggested to me that there is 5 unpublished ones before, maybe they are a different character.
I hope they record the whole series (7 in the series so far).
