Summary

Indo-China 1941, and cruising somewhere off Saigon is the world’s largest, most dangerous submarine, the French Soufriere. The British navy must capture and use her in the defence of Singapore before she is used against them. For Commander Robert Ainslie it is the supreme challenge of his career.

Entertaining

An excellent glimpse of a part of history seldom written about - the fall of Singapore. The author cleverly weaves a tale of courage and romance taking the reader into the intimate world of military strategy and politics with all the lost chances and bad decisions that goes with it. A thoroughly good read.

Good yarn

interesting story about largest submarine of the time. Not Reyman's best but certainly a worthwhile read. Usual superb narration by Rintoul. He never disappoints.
