By: Patrick O'Brian, Farley Mowat, more

Narrated by: Terence Aselford, Richard Rohan, Nick Sampson, Barrett Whitener

For those who dare, things often go wrong on the sea. Deep Blue offers some of literature's greatest stories about the ocean and the people who risk its wrath. Castaways, pirates, and victims of shipwreck all fight to survive in far-flung places and under harrowing circumstances. Together, these works offer a convincing reminder of the sea's dangers and mysteries.©2001 by Nate Hardcastle (P)2002 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Listen & Live's Adrenaline Series is one of the best in the genre." (The Denver Post)
"Listen & Live Audio's new series will take your breath away and send your heart racing." (AudioFile)

boring

this book was boring. I fell asleep before the first chapter would finish boring boring

Not what it appeared

I should have read between the lines. This is simply very abridged editions of books that are wonderful in their original editions. A cheap trick.
The best thing about this book is the narrator. His talent is wasted here.

NOT REALLY UNABRIDGED

This book is listed as unabridged, which I suppose the book "Deep Blue" is unabridged, but the selected stories within this book are heavily abridged. This is inadequately disclosed in the publisher's summary.

The selected passages from excellent books by Patrick O'Brien and Robert Louis Stevenson (Tresure Island) are very short and not even "at sea".

In the Audible descriptive title it says:
"Deep Blue: Stories of Shipwreck, Sunken Treasure and Survival (Unabridged Selections)"
but these book selections ARE NOT UNABRIDGED.
