I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Damn, this sounds exactly like my next book, thanks for recommending it.

Might be easier to read if you're not used to the accent, but the narrator of the audiobook absolutely fuckin nails Hoon's voice

I have never tried to listen to an audiobook. I am just afraid I will get distracted and miss part of it.

That's what the back button's for. But if you're interested in audiobooks at all, I'd suggest starting with a book you've already read that's pretty low stakes. Stephen Fry's narration of Harry Potter is excelent.
