Flying Boats & Spies

Nick Grant Adventures, Book 1

By: Jamie Dodson

Narrated by: Andy Valvur

1935! The winds of war have begun to fan the flames of conflict across the Pacific. As Nick Grant tries to support his mother and sister during the depression, he's swept into a deadly contest between spies struggling to control the Pacific Ocean.

Nick's life abruptly changes the moment Anne Lindbergh offers him a month's wages to deliver a mysterious map case to Bill Grooch aboard the tramp steamer, the SS North Haven. Desperate for money, Nich agrees.

Suddenly, the map case and Grooch catapult him into a quiet, but deadly cat and mouse game between US and Japanese spies. Nick becomes a vital player in a mission spanning the Pacific Ocean: a mission vital to US security, as well as a mortal danger to Japan.

Fix the audio

At about 2 hrs and 18 mins LEFT mark, the audio does a real weird thing. It cuts out at the end of each sentence / phrase. Almost sounds like each sentence was its own recording and then someone put them all together with breaks between. Hard to explain. Its very jarring and hard to listen to. Did all the normal stuff - deleted download, redownloaded, tried streaming, tried on PC, tried on phone, etc. Audible help was unable to resolve. They said they'd look into it but never did. Was never able to finish the book.
