The Pirates by Morgan Robertson audiobook.

Genre: adventure

When Ensign William Denman stays aboard a brand-new U.S. Navy destroyer for one quiet night, he expects nothing more dangerous than paperwork and a watchman's round. Instead, a dozen escaped prisoners slip through the fog, silence the sentries, and steal the fastest ship afloat, a turbine-driven grayhound fitted with torpedoes, searchlights, and a crackling new wireless set. Their leader, the hard-handed Herbert Jenkins, offers Denman a stark choice: parole and cooperation, or confinement in irons. Denman gives his word not to interfere, but honor does not make him safe. As the stolen destroyer surges into the Atlantic and warships begin to close in, Denman discovers an even more personal threat among the fugitives: John Forsythe, his boyhood rival, carrying an old grievance that time and uniforms have not erased. Trapped on a vessel that can outrun almost anything but cannot outrun consequences, Denman must weigh duty against survival, read the shifting loyalties of desperate men, and decide how far a naval officer can bend before he breaks.
