Summary
January 1782, Portsmouth. His Britannic Majesty's frigate Phalarope is ordered to the assistance of the hard-pressed squadrons in the Caribbean. Aboard is her new commander - Richard Bolitho.
To all appearances the Phalarope is everything a young captain could wish for. But beneath the surface she is a deeply unhappy ship - her wardroom torn by petty greed and ambition, her deckhands driven to near mutiny by senseless ill treatment.

Adventure at sea.
Any additional comments?
I bought this because I had exhausted Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey-Maturin series. I loved it, it's a good solid adventure on the high seas. None of the characters seemed as real or three-dimensional as O'Brien's characters, but it's still an excellent, immersive and satisfying maritime tale.

A Strong Wind in his Sails!
The binge continues for me with another outing with Bolitho as the series goes from strength to strength. Bolitho is given what appears to be a fantastic opportunity, a new frigate of his own to command! But a ship is only as good as the men within it and this one has some particularly interesting characters aboard.
An additional thing that I do like about this series, and I hugely thank Audible for bringing it to life so well, is that Kent builds some great characters but isn't afraid to sacrifice some of them to the purposes of the story to keep it feeling real.
And one thing that is important to note is that although if you do look at the Audible series list it appears there are big gaps in what's available. For example Signal, Close Action! is listed as missing but it you search on the title you can find it. So don't be put off!

disappointing
I re-read Patrick O'Brian regularly so tried this to broaden my perspective of the period. Unfortunately, the characters are shallow and clumsily drawn and the dialogue is laughably unrealistic. The narrator absolutely murders the pronunciation of 'Phalarope' all the way through - I expect 100 jarring times - it makes the name of the ship nonsensical. He does the same with 'grimaced' which just highlights its overuse through the text - everyone has a few grimAYses in this tale. Back to O'Brian for me.
