About this listen
The year 1792. With French revolutionary agents traveling freely but secretly between Ireland and England and war with France inevitable, the English government of Mr. Pitt is desperately anxious to uncover any plots between Irish rebels and the French.
Lieutenant James Merriman with his ship, the sloop Aphrodite, is ordered to the Irish Sea to assist the principal treasury agent Mr. Grahame in this work. Merriman is plunged headlong into the world of espionage and when Grahame is seriously wounded it falls to Merriman to carry on the investigation.
Young James Merriman must keep all his wits about him to foil these plans, especially when his adversary is revealed to be an exceptional French agent—Henri Moreau who hopes that by helping the Irish to throw off the English yoke, France will be able to use Irish ports from which to attack England.

I felt as if I had been transported to the late 18th century and drawn into the plot afresh as Nigel Peever’s narration was so characterful and engaging.
Really looking forward to hearing the next book in the series.
A Great Seafaring Yarn!

One of the main reasons I purchase a lot of books on Audible is that I travel with work a lot, therefore the narration needs to be good. Nigel Peever is by far the best narrator on Audible. Professionally produced with the right amount of sound effects, music, and correct accents, he elevates any story he reads into another class.
A good old fashioned blood and thunder book
