I have the whole series now, excellent readings by Christian Rodska, who really captures what the author intended, IMO.

I purchased the 12 audiobooks currently available in the Kydd series recently and having previously read this series "one book per year", I found it even more enjoyable this time as the "tempo" wasn't lost by the yearly wait for the next novel to appear. This obviously wouldn't be a problem if you're starting the series now......until you get to book 13 which is due out this summer. But, I've found them worth the wait.

While I found Christian Rodska presentation took some getting use to after listening to Simon Vance (22 books) and John Lee (8 books so far), I did find it acceptable. Smile
