    About this audiobook

    Mister Tidwell is a scholarly Oxford professor — snatched out of his bookish world and pressed into service aboard Lord Nelson's legendary British fleet. Such is the life of Mister Tidwell, Gunner. The professor is about to get an object lesson in war, self-reliance... and survival. Overwhelmed by the smell of gunpowder, the sound of cannons, and the sight of death, he will either experience the sweet taste of victory or the bitter taste of his own blood. Sail into history and into battle as the audio version of Mister Tidwell, Gunner takes you into the heart of one of the greatest wars for dominance of the seas.

    L. Ron Hubbard

    With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

      Fans of Patrick O’Brian and Alexander Kent are sure to enjoy L. Ron Hubbard’s Mister Tidwell, Gunner. From the pages of Adventure magazine, this 1936 short story is a riveting entertainment. Pressed into service during the Napoleonic Wars, young Tidwell finds himself performing medical service during the heat of battle. Realizing that he might contribute, he finds himself in the middle of action that will either destroy him or save him. The pacing is relentless and this little tale is a great example of both Hubbard’s talent and the appeal of an adventure story told well. This volume also includes the poignant short story Submarine followed by the adventure tale The Drowned City and I enjoyed both. So you get three for one great stories in this volume. Hubbard’s other sea stories include Under the Black Ensign and Twenty fathoms Down. I recommend all of them.
