Summary

February 1943. As the balance of the war slowly shifts in Britain's favour, Lieutenant-Commander Steven Marshall brings his battle-scarred submarine into home port. Captain and crew are exhausted after 14 months' continuous service, but for most there can be no thought of leave.

If the enemy collapse in North Africa is to be exploited, every experienced man will be needed. Marshall must return to the Mediterranean, but this time to a very different kind of war. For his new command is secret and extremely hazardous - a captured German U-boat....

Good Story, shame about the “dust cover”

It’s a good story, typical Douglas Reeman. It’s just a shame the “dust cover” shows a 20th century nuclear submarine and not a Second World War U boat!

Too much romance!

Well written and performed, but not for me. Although I'm a woman, I really don't enjoy romance in this type of story, so I'm afraid as soon as the main character risked the lives of men under his command for a bit of skirt he barely knew (I'm sure he wouldn't have done so if it had been to rescue blokes) - well, that was my cue to abandon the book.

Totally engrossing

Never since Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising have I been so taken by a submarine story. A brilliant story with excellent narration. Nothing more to say. Buy it!!@

Great Book.

David Rintoul is a master of the genre and Douglas Reeman can't be bettered. From the Artic Convoys to The Med his story's cover everything from Cruisers to Submarine to Tug Boats. Great escapism and story telling.

Brilliant

Another classic from Reeman. Another reminder of those days when bravery was understated and commonplace.

Thrilling adventure

A thrilling submarine adventure. A captured U-boat is put into service with the Royal Nay. An action packed book with a tense storyline as the crew perform several dangerous missions with little leave and everyone your enemy. Some great characters but a few stereotypes, a Commander on the brink, the posh and entitled senior officer, the salty up from the ranks officer and the wartime romance. One of his better books a real winner. David Rintoul is the perfect narrator for these stories.

My fifth or sixth Douglas Reeman

Very good. One of the better ones I’ve listened to. Apparently there was a German U-Boat captured and used against the Nazis which perhaps added value to this book.
