I am not an avid book worm , but whilst Driving I listen to Audiobooks which I download from Amazon and play on my Apple devices , which ever is nearest at the time .
These's Action and adventure Category books are set in the late 1700/ early 1800 and depict adventures of the hero Captain Jack Aubrey and his ships Surgeon Dr Steven Maturin amongst all the background histories we have heard before but set as characters amidst these actions .
The Captain is a JACK The LAD of a captain and his friend a spy cum Surgeon and the ships company and the art of sailing is actively displayed in every aspect of handling a naval Frigate amongst other vessels and all the storey line is within olde English naval diction all of which appeals to me along with precise detail by a writer who knows his art blindfolded ..
So far I have read / listened to 7 books all of which last about 13hrs each and there are about 30 books to listen to ......so I will be aloft in the rigging for a while yet I wagger
The author is now crossed the bar sadly but his knowledge of sailing, rigging, and ships of the line is I sense........... bottomless and even if you have but one grain of salt in your blood......... I heartily commend these books to all who love this era
