Nick Carter is a fictional detective who first appeared in 1886 in dime store novels.

Nick is only visited by the rich and famous, and in this swashbuckling story, it is Nick's friend Maxwell Kane who asks for help, after his yacht has been boarded by pirates while at anchor. Max and his guests are dicombobulated, but Nick will get to the bottom of the case. (5 hr 6 min)

DISAPPOINTING READ
AVID READER
(1,5 Sterne)
Fortunately, this was one of the simple plots, so the two chapters which were virtually impossible to understand did not radically disable it. I realize that I am fortunate in that I can listen to books, since my reading is limited by eye problems. I also understand that the readers donate their valuable time, and I thank them. Having said that, I have often had to listen very intently to understand readers for whom English is not a primary language, and I can usually understand enough to get the gist of the story. Fine. But, for the editor to allow indecipherable recordings to get on the website is incomprehensible. For example, the questionable reader on this book contributed three chapters. The second, while subject to problems concerned with accent, was quite understandable, but the other two were not. Someone did not properly oversee the compilation.
Great story, but . . .

Great story, but 1 reader is so bad, it is painful to listen to. The later chapters she read had so much background noise (did I hear a vacuum?) and static, i could barely make out her voice. Especially bad quality was the last chapter wrapping it all up! I'm frankly surprised a recording of such poor technical quality was approved to be included. Hopefully the problem chapters will be rerecorded.
Great book until a woman started narrating it

Great book until Kathleen Moore started narrating it...so very bad and totally annoying voice. Stephen Gagin was great. Too bad Stephen he did not narrate the whole novel.

the last chapter was impossible to understand. I presume they all lived happily ever after.

Mildly entertaining, Lightstars recordings had terrible sound quality, esp. the chapter that sounded like she recorded it in the shower. Many times use of multiple readers is very distracting since the sound quality varies from reader to reader and it’s often difficult to keep adjusting to different styles. And when are readers going to learn how to pronounce “monsieur” correctly??
