The Sea Without a Shore

RCN Series, Book 10

By: David Drake

Narrated by: Victor Bevine

Leary and Mundy return in the RCN series.

#10 in the nationally best-selling Republic of Cinnabar Navy space adventure series.

Cinnabar's chief spymaster is a mother also - and her son is determined to search for treasure in the midst of a civil war. Who better to hold the boy's hand - and to take the blows directed at him - than Captain Daniel Leary, the Republic of Cinnabar Navy's troubleshooter, and his friend the cyberspy Adele Mundy?

The only thing certain in the struggle for control of the mining planet Corcyra is that the rival parties are more dangerous to their own allies than to their opponents. Daniel and Adele face kidnappers, hijackers, pirates and a death squad - even before they can get to their real business of ending the war on Corcyra. Only with planetary peace can the boy they're escorting get on with his mission.

The boy thinks the treasure he's looking for is a thousand years old. Daniel and Adele know that it's probably a dream - but if the treasure is real, it just might be tens of thousands of years older than anyone imagines, and incalculably more valuable!

I love these books

adele and Daniel conquer again. politics blackmail and family collide with treasure.
good job narrating. even better job of writing.

I love this series.

Mr. Drake again expertly delivers a rousing story of wooden ships and iron men set in the distant future.
I can't recommend this series and this installment more highly.

Up Cinnabar! RCN FOREVER!!!

Another great story in the series

I enjoyed this addition to the series. My only issues is the change is voices Victor made for Hogg and Adele. I prefer he would have kept the performance the same as it had been for all prior entries.

Needless Changes

Would you be willing to try another one of Victor Bevine’s performances?

Mr. Bevine is one of my favorite voice actors.

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

No.

Any additional comments?

The changes to the voicing were a serious mistake and detracted heavily from my enjoyment of this installment.

The voicing of Hog was absolutely horrific. I loved Hog from the first book and now I cringe every time he comes on.

The change to Adelle was not as egregious but also not needed. For the record I love Victor Bevine's work and have listed to over a dozen of his voiced books.

But if it ain't broke don't fix it. And please change it back for the new book. Please?

solid

Good pace, very well developed characters staying true and maturing. Very nice addition to overall story.
