Wonderful Series of Novels
Marvellous. Have purchased every one of Donachie's series covering the exploits of John Pearce.
One left to listen to and am dreading it as I know I be left wanting more.
Recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a good seafaring read.

An Incredibly catching story
Would you consider the audio edition of An Awkward Commission to be better than the print version?
Yes, The Narration is brilliant, he is very good with accents and its easy to distinguish between characters and their personalities.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Ralph Barlclay, A great bad guy, with a very deep story and yet I can't help but feel for him at the same time, as he just seems to dig himself deeper and deeper into this hole.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The last scene
Any additional comments?
Very descriptive, some readers tend to find it makes the story a bit slow, I find it adds depth and gets you to really 'know' each individual character.
