Best: Finally! Finally, there was some sort of a continuation of the story! I thought Mr Donachie had fallen asleep.Least: It felt as if the story was written because it had to be. It seemed shallow, dragging and it could have starred as well or better as just a chapter in a book. The whole book sort of slogged along, and as far as a conclusion… It just seemed to die in mid-plot.
I did get the next book just to see where it was leading and it was pretty much the same. I’ve gone back to re-reading O’Brian & Lambdin; I get more pleasure out of those old stories. It may be time to wrap it up and move on to something else. Or rest on one’s laurels.

Enemies at Every Turn audiobook in series John Pearce
This is book eight of the John Pearce series. In the last book Pearce was caught up in smugglers’ ring and smugglers are after him in this book. In this book Pearce is given a command by Pitt and sets off on a mission to contact the leaders of the rebellion in the Vendee. The situation is complicated by the discovery of his ex-mistress among the rebels. The rebellion is a disaster and Pierce must retreat, ex-mistress in tow and the smugglers still chasing him. The ending leaves the reader hanging until the next book comes out.

Audiobook Enemies at Every Turn by David Donachie
I do not like it when they change the narrator in the middle of a series. Peter Wickham was doing a great job narrating the series. Then they substituted Michael Tabor Barnes as the narrator. It is unfair to the new narrated as no matter how great they maybe they are not the original voice that the reader is use to.

Audio Enemies at Every Turn narrated by Peter Wickham
This is the 8th book in the John Pearce series. The series is about the misadventures of a dedicated individualist who is wrongly impressed into the Royal Navy in the Napoleanic wars. His valiant action earns a commission that he does not want, but he he is trapped by situations and loyalty to the small group who were impressed with him. While he cleverly finesses his total lack of preparation to be a Lieutennant, he keeps piling up sucesses, which thrust him into more and greater challenges.
It is an amusing story line, and the author does a good job of portraing naval life and warfare. He reveals insights about the real people, politics, and locations of the war. The only negative is that he keeps telling again what he has already told. He does this enough to annoy me. I begin to wonder if he should not have told this story in fewer volumes. Is business dominating the art?
I admire the author’s research and the ability to craft a complex set of events, but it is a mistake to try to make each volume stand alone by explaining what happened in all the previous volumes. It is cumulative. Each sussessive volume contains less new material. Any reader who likes a series should start with the first volume and remember at least the broad progression of events.

Ive now read all of the John Pearce series, but with deminishing pleasure. So much is repetition and all is based on historical incidents from the Great War that are better found in fact (see Noel Mostert’s “Line Upon the Wind.”) Sorry, too much soap opera going on now that needs resolution.
