Form Line of Battle!

By: Alexander Kent

Narrated by: Michael Jayston

The scene is Gibraltar, 1793. The gathering might of revolutionary France prepares to engulf Europe in another bloody war. As in the past, Britain will stand or fall by the fighting power of her fleet. For Richard Bolitho, the renewal of hostilities means a fresh command and the chance of action.

Critic reviews

"One of our foremost writers of naval fiction." ( Sunday Times, London)

One of his best stories so far. Alexander Kent stories get better as the series progresses.

Equal to the revered Patrick O’Brian. Mr. Kent’s are bloodier and darker in comparison. I don’t know which is the more realistic. If you can stand the graphic violence, and the sudden loss of so many wonderful characters, then you enjoy this series.

Surprise Meeting !

Spoiler Alart ! Just when hero needs a lift, God grants him a reprieve. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

superb

loved the book. writing is excellent . well told adventure . kept my attention and interest throughout

like your there on deck

alexander kent writes like he was there standing on the poop deck with bolitho. I look forward to hearing the rest of the books.

Compares well with Master and Commander series.

Would you listen to Form Line of Battle! again? Why?

No, but only because there are several more in the series and I am hooked.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes
