About this listen

"When a man escapes alive, he has a chance to survive."

In the unforgiving docklands of east London, young orphan William must do all he can to survive. Like the other ‘wharf rats’, his life of petty crime is not a choice; it’s a necessity. But William’s misdeeds won’t remain hidden for long. When the boy unknowingly steals from a murderous pirate captain, escape is his only option. He is forced to stow away and begin a life that will take him to the far side of the world; a life as a soldier of the East India Company.

Thoroughly enjoyed this listen. The narrator did a brilliant job and the story kept me gripped. Made a nice change away from my usual Hosker books, as usual he doesn’t disappoint.

Enjoyed this very much despite misgivings. Had not started this as listened to all the Sharpe stories. But this is a different slant to the Indian wars. Particularly enjoyed the narration. (Unwell and use audiobooks to get to sleep and repeat the bits I’ve missed!)
Like all Hosker audiobooks, the next audiobook in the series isn’t ready to continue the story as quickly as required!

Good story, lead character and narration
