The Cruise of the Alerte - In Search of Treasure
Edward Frederick Knight
Leído por Steven Seitel
The book describes a voyage undertaken in 1889 by an English barrister Edward Frederick Knight to the South Seas. This delightful story takes the reader on a voyage to the forbidding desert island of Trindade, where it is rumored that immense treasure lies buried. Though the heroes of this treasure-hunt do not have to contend with malicious people, they have their share of adventures. Almost inaccessible desert island, changing weather, hideous land crabs and heavy digging in the mud are enough challenges for the brave adventurers. (Kristine Bekere) (7 hr 33 min)

Gerard Kelly
good reader. an interesting adventure but seemed rather tame and uninspiring compared with the prequel called cruise of the falcon which is one of the best books on LibriVox in my opinion.
