Sinossi

Victor G. Durham's "The Submarine Boys and the Middies: Or, the Prize Detail at Annapolis" immerses readers in the thrilling world of naval adventure and camaraderie during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the United States Naval Academy, this work combines elements of young adult literature and military fiction, engaging audiences with its straightforward yet compelling prose. The novel deftly intertwines themes of bravery, brotherhood, and the challenges of naval training, reflecting the broader socio-political context of a nation poised on the brink of global conflicts, where America'Äôs naval power was becoming increasingly significant. Durham, an author deeply influenced by his contemporaneous naval history and the burgeoning interest in submarines, sought to capture the essence of naval life and the discipline it entails. His background, possibly informed by naval recruits of his time, inspired his vivid portrayal of young protagonists navigating the rigors of military education. As a writer, Durham has a keen ability to illuminate themes of friendship and loyalty amidst the discipline of the naval experience, aiming to inspire future generations of sea-goers. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in maritime history, young adult fiction, or tales of adventure that celebrate the spirit of youthful bravery. It serves as both an entertaining narrative and a reflection of a dynamic period in American naval history, captivating those who dare to dream of the high seas.

    YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
    PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
    Book 3 of 6 – The curse of the lemonade stand 
    Here is the summary description of this book: 
    In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach—the boy who would become the infamous pirate Blackbeard—leads his crew in a daring lemonade stand scheme at the bustling High Cross market. Using stolen sugar and Anne Bonny’s over-sweetened brew, they attract sailors and merchants alike—until a rival vendor accuses them of sugar theft, a crime punishable by transportation. Facing the constable, Edward spins a tale of the "Sugar Witch," a Barbados hag who curses their lemonade, and sells "anti-curse" potions (dyed with stolen cochineal) to the superstitious crowd. The deception works, earning them enough coin for future adventures while showcasing Edward’s early knack for manipulation and theatrics—traits that would later define Blackbeard’s reign of terror. The story blends historical details of Bristol’s sugar trade and maritime culture with a playful origin for history’s most notorious pirate, proving even legends start small.  
    This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this instalment, and it's only $3. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
    The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
