Summary
It's 1940, and the British Expeditionary Force is caught ill prepared for the onslaught of the German Blitzkrieg and its deadly panzers. Caught in the desperate retreat to Dunkirk, Tom Harsker, son of a World War One ace, discovers that he is a natural soldier. Escaping to England and with complete disaster narrowly averted, Tom is selected to join the newly formed Commandos. With Britain standing alone and the seemingly inexorable German forces massing across the Channel for invasion, Tom and his fellow Commandos must battle against all odds in daring raids to buy precious time.

Bloody awful narration, it was read like a child would read it! so wooden it was almost unlistenable
ok story ruined by the most pitiful narration. would have been better read by a 10 year old. How I wish they would get better narrators for these books!!!!!

Great fun, super hero
He could join the cast of Avengers Superheroes, but a fabulous read and kept me well entertained. The narrator was very poor and wooden, and he almost spoiled the book.

Great story
This would be a great yarn if it wasn't for the fact that British soldiers really actually did this stuff. Quite sobering.
The characters are well written, if a little stereotypical. (T)officers, salt of the earth and a Beau Geste class hero. But don't let that put you off. Great story.
The readers accents are hilarious. Worth listening just for that. The Germans sound like West Indians! The UK regional ones are also funny. This can spoil some productions, but not this one. hence 4*
Enjoy!

Absolutely fantastic, clear, versatile and gripping.
This narrators main talents are clearly his ability to do voices which make the characters distinguishable and come a live. Which isn't always the case with narrators.
Another success for Griff and surprisingly barley mentions the Three Sister or Wyrd
