About this listen

D-Day is a month away. Berlin still expects the Allied landing to be in the Pas de Calais region, but the Normandy invasion planners have a surprise for them. Tactical intelligence on German naval reactions is needed during the early hours of Operation Neptune, the naval portion of the Allied invasion, Operation Overlord. Navy Captain Tony Romella and a small contingent of radio intercept operators are covertly inserted into the Normandy region before D-Day to provide this critical intelligence. Romella’s strategic location gives rise to being tasked by London with impromptu and perilous additional missions with the OSS and French Resistance.

When Romella’s missions are complete, returning to London is blocked by formidable Wehrmacht forces that stubbornly defend positions behind the Allied beachhead in the Normandy region. Romella’s choice is to wait weeks for the Allied forces to secure the Normandy area, risking discovery and certain execution, or embark on a hazardous trek to safety.

I tried this series on a whim and was caught up with it from the start. Really enjoyed the twists involved and the character development. Got a bit fed up of the stereo type casting of the British characters by an American writer but you just have to push through it. The narrator for the first few books was great, however this was changed for the last 2 books which did spoil it as you had the voices in your head which were changed to a poorer version. Why change? This last book was a different take on what happened on D Day and was a nice change. But why bring another spy author into this story? Yes everyone knows he was part of the war effort before writing but there was absolutely no need to bring him into this. It was just like he was there just for fun not to make an actual difference to what happened. I would recommend this book and the whole series even with the little flaws. An enjoyable story about an area of the war effort that isn’t really looked at, communication intelligence.

Enjoyable WW2 clandestine story

I had to give up on the book because I really could not cope with the horrendous narration the extremely false and horrendously bad attempt at accents was so distracting in particular the English female voice that it took away from what could have been a very good listen
