Reviews
Roughout
The best of readers. His voice is clear and easy to understand. He has the right amount of character differentiation, not going overboard. The recording sound quality is excellent. I will read every book I can with him as reader. The reader makes the book.
A great story and read
HolmesBoy
This book is excellent. It is classic Henty. The sub story about the will was nice but the movement of Ralph and his experiences were the best part. I think Henty was right to not make it just about Waterloo but instead made it about Ralph. Lots of historical data and imagery. Worth a read or listen.

Excellent read - a super saga and story of the times surrounding youth, piracy, young love, military service in the infantry of the day with an excellent detail of the battle of Waterloo.

VINTAGE HENTY
Avid Listener
The description of the great battle was, as usual with Henty, vivid and very understandable. Mike Harris, who has narrated several Henty books, is a pleasure to listen to, great pronunciation and always with proper volume.

The reader was excellent. Storyline was typical of G.A. Henty, the boy’s historian; pirates, intrigue, soldiering, and Napoleon.
