'Farewell, Nikola'
Guy Boothby
Read by Peter John Keeble
Farewell Nikola is the fifth and last novel of the Dr Nikola series. We are reacquainted with Richard "Dick" Hatteras, former South Seas adventurer and Roustabout who clashed with Dr Nicola in “A Bid for Fortune". He is now Sir Richard Hatteras and firmly married. He is taking a long sojourn with his wife and companions in Venice, where quite by chance (or is it ?) he bumps into Dr Nikola, who despite their stormy past, is the height of affability. He is still suave, cosmopolitan, cultivated and just as unscrupulous as he ever was. We discover that Nikola lives alone in Venice in a dilapidated palace with a macabre history.
Hatteras is drawn once more into a tangled web spun by Dr Nikola who reveals something of his own past and presents a side of himself that we have never seen.
He still regards himself above all laws, and follows his own strange code of conduct. If you thought that words like empathy, compassion, contrition would never have featured in the lexicon of Dr Nicola then be prepared for a surprise. - Summary by Peter Keeble (6 hr 15 min)

Very disappointed, I was looking forward to this, love the series and the narrator, however, after many attempts, this book won't load on Android or Apple devices, I've tried 6 different ones.

I do not plan on listening to this, myself. But I have had this happen to me on other books. I have been told there was not a problem on their end, for one book. The other I have not followed up. I would like to confirm that I was not able to load this book.
