Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

These are the four most recent titles in Kent's ongoing adventures of 18th-century fighting British sailor Richard Bolitho. Good fun for fans of nautical fiction.

From AudioFile

It's June 1793, and the French Revolution threatens to destroy Europe. England's powerful fleet is called upon to control access to the Mediterranean at Gibraltar and support ground actions. But, never fear, bestselling author Alexander Kent's Captain Richard Bolitho mans the warship HYPERION in this winning novel. Michael Jayston juggles multiple characters and accents with aplomb and professionalism. Several passages pin the listener to his headphones with vivid description and dramatic action. Kent raises the stakes emotionally as love for a seaman's sister adds another level of complication to a thrilling climatic battle.

5.0étoiles sur 5 War With France, Janv. 15 2004
Par Joseph H Pierre "Joe Pierre" (Salem, OR USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   


Bolitho is ordered to take his command, the 74-gun ship-of-the-line Hyperion to join Admiral Hood in his attempt to take Toulon. He is seconded, however, to another admiral who has orders to take a small island in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, it is already occupied by the French. In the ensuing battle, the admiral is killed and eventually he is placed under the command of yet another, in Gibraltar; an old acquaintance--one whom he had once replaced as commander of a frigate--and, unfortunately for his present situation, outshone.

This is an intricate story, but easy to follow, with lots of action and excellent character development. After reading a few of these Bolitho books the characters seem to live and breathe.

Alexander Kent is surely, as they say on the cover, "One of our foremost writers of naval fiction."

I hope you enjoy his stroies as much as I do.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Haul Open Gun Ports! Avast! Loosen T'gallants! Huzzah!, Déc 24 2001
Par Ironmike (California) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Another slendidly written masterpiece from Mr. Kent. Bolitho again sets his sails into thundering actions, a bit of romance, some nefarious villains, crisply-written battle scenes that almost deafen the reader. The age of sail is clearly defined in this ninth Bolitho adventure that is one of the best in the series. Plenty of historical flavor, the workings of a British warship (HMS Hyperion) at sea are marvelous to read. Wonderful character development and splintering decks and freezing sea spray for the nautical buffs. An outstanding addition to the series.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Three cheers for Bolitho!, Jui 12 2001
Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! The feel of the deck, smell of the gunpowder, the roar of the cannon. Makes you feel like you were on the HMS Hyperion. Richard Bolitho rocks! This is set during the Wars of the French Revolution. Bolitho gets command of the Hyperion, a British two-decker. The Revolutionary forces of France had just beheaded Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Toulon is under attack and British and allied forces are in full retreat. Bolitho and Hyperion are blockading Toulon while evacuating the French port. This book is reminiscent of Vietnam. The evacuation of Toulon's like the evacuation of Saigon in 1975.
