Reviews

I liked it a lot

(5 stars)

Sorry Mike did not like this book. I really enjoyed it. I had never heard of this author, but I thought his writing was marvellous. I loved the descriptions of the stormy sea, the icebergs, and the idea of all these dead pirates lying around is nice and creepy. Wonderful reading too.

I count myself extremely fortunate to have come across this author precisely at the time of finishing all of Frederick Marryat's available audio books. This is a remarkable yarn and what must have been such an innovative premise for this time of writing. There is great detail and character development as well as a judicious amount of jeopardy and tension. I loved it. Now on to my next book by the author!

FINE FANTASY

(5 stars)

AVID READER

Some may think it too wordy. but I think that very verbosity lends an air of reality to a man alone in virtually fatal situations. I thought it strange that a single reader did so much of the reading, yet Librivox felt the necessity to have a few others read chapters. This robbed me of the opportunity to seek other works read by BD. She did well. even if she is not familiar with the Thames River.

Unforgettably Spooky

This uncanny adventure story is a creepy delight. Grabbed my attention and never let go. Written in a time when music was played on instruments and love was made to humans, not screens. So, you may require the acquirement of the neurologic pathways attributed to attention span.

Had Potential

Moves along too slowly. I fast forwarded through a lot of the first 10 to 12 chapters, way too much text spent describing the color of the water, sky and ice. When the pirate finally shows up it gets interesting but fails to deliver.

Arrrrrrhh Matey‼️A Pesky Pirate Tale

S.O.Y.

William Clark Russell penned this entertaining novel with a hint of sci-fi flavoring- adding a few twists that yield an impressive and refreshing survival yarn. The narration was very good as well.
