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.

Having the audible version recorded like a play with various voices and sound effects makes the story even better. it reminded me of my short years in the Navy half a century ago

A good story esp if you are interested in history as well as action and romance.

Struggled thru the first book. The story line is not near as complex or enthrawling as Hornblower or Aubrey/Maturin. I disliked the narration which attempted to dramatize the story but continually put emphasis on last words of each sentence.

Disappointed
