Thplendid thtory.

Really enjoying the book. However, the narrator sounds rather unfortunately like Daffy Duck, one of the boats is called The Flasher, and it's all making me laugh in places where I shouldn't...

an easy listen with lots of drama

Five war patrols over three years are presented, with all the drama of creeping up on and sinking Japanese ships. Each engagement is described in quite a lot of detail, but it's always clear what's going on and the excitement of the situation comes across well. Almost everything in the book focuses on pre-combat training and then the combat itself. Little is said about life on board a submarine when not in battle. There is even less mention of the death and destruction of war.

The writer is a squeaky-clean all American hero, almost unreal is his skill, self-discipline and soundness of character. A true poster-boy for life as a navy officer. I found myself regretting having been born fifty years too late and not being American! How easy it must be to be duped into believing in the righteousness of the military when you read a book like this. Don't expect any soul-searching or self-doubt. That said, Mr Calvert comes across as a very pleasant man. Of course, he would hardly present himself in a poor light.

Overall, half a credit well spent (there was a two for one offer)!

Great story, poor narration quality in places.

Great story, well rounded and a fascinating listen.
however the quality of the sounds is poor in places, and there are occasions where you can hear outside noises and voices intruding a touch.
If you can if can ignore that then it's still a great read.
