About this listen

While Captain Aubrey worries about repairs to his ship, Stephen Maturin assumes the centre stage; for the dockyards and salons of Malta are alive with Napoleon's agents, and the admiralty's intelligence network is compromised.

Maturin's cunning is the sole bulwark against sabotage of Aubrey's daring mission. All of Patrick O'Brian's strengths are on parade in this novel of action and intrigue, set partly in Malta, partly in the treacherous, pirate-infested waters of the Red Sea.

stellar

The Aubrey-Maturin series gets its very own Kim Philby to fight in this clever cracker of a novel... oh boy. They just keep being "page turners" Jerrom does an amazing job as always.

Excellent

The whole of the Aubrey/ Machurin Series is such a good story it gripped e from start to finish of the 20 titles. I soon got used to the nautical details. What made the whole thing hugely enjoyable was Ric Jerome's excellent reading. He is literally superlative. Every sentence and paragraph flow with ease and are made totally understandable. I have listened to the series every day for a year, and every single day I wished I could tell Ric what pleasure he has given me.

Great, Standard O'brien writing and narration

Treason Harbour has pretty much all that you want from this series. Some excellent naval action, intrigue and spying, cabin politics, all in a Mediterranean/Red Sea setting. If you are up to book 9 then you like the format and this is more of the same, comforting genteel, with a focus on male friendships (thats how I read it),if you are bored of it then this will not change your mind.

The narration by Ric Jerrom is fantastic and he is the voice of these characters for me, utterly superb reading

Another entertaining instalment

More of the same from O'Brian, with yard-arms and missen top-masts aplenty. Ends rather abruptly, no doubt setting up for a good scrap in the next book
