Jester's Fortune

De: Dewey Lambdin

Narrado por: John Lee

The year is 1796 and the soil of Piedmont and Tuscany runs with blood, another battle takes shape on the mysterious Adriatic Sea. Alan Lewrie and his 18-gun sloop, HMS Jester, part of a squadron of four British warships, sail into the thick of it. But with England's allies failing, Napoleon busy rearranging the world map, and their squadron stretched dangerously thin along the Croatian coast, the British squadron commander strikes a devil's bargain: enlisting the aid of Serbian pirates.

Lewrie at his best

Where does Jester's Fortune rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best reads in the series. I didn't know any of napoleon's history.

As usual -great. John Lee is one of my favorite narrators.

Any additional comments?

Audible needs to complete the series - all of the lewrie tales.

not my favorite in the series

i feel like this book is setting the stage for a better one. not bad at all, i enjoyed it, but compaired to the richness of the rest of the series this one didnt seam as grand.

Not the best in the series!

A good story spoiled by too much dialog in accents that ate too hard to understand and follow!

Jesters Fortune - next in the series Kings Capt

Although Jesters Fortune was most enjoyable the next in the series Kings Captain is missing from Audible. The Audible series skips to Sea of Gray missing the continuation of the series (Kings Captain). I would recommend that you purchase Kings Captain and read it before starting Sea of Gray. If not you are unsure how Jester's ends and the new ship and his promotion begins.

2 Dozen for the Narrator

Very good story told in Mr., Lambdin's wonderful style but the narrator COMPLETELY missed the mark with his totally inept pronunciation of the Austrian translator and very poor handling of the Croatian characters. Fortunately the author has provided sufficient ancillary narrative to permit a full understanding of the meaning of the conversations.
