About this listen

When a world war becomes a personal vendetta… death is the only winner…

After a devastating attack by a downed Japanese aircraft, Art Turner and the men of Bull Shark try to forget and relax in the rustic Western Australian port of Fremantle. Yet war is never far away, and the battle cry once more draws the submarine into danger.

Uncle Charlie Lockwood has a special side mission for Art Turner. A British commando needs to get to Timor and reunite with the Australian guerrilla fighters he’s trained… and who he was forced to leave behind when the Japanese invaded. Due to lack of manpower, however, several men from turner’s crew must make certain the vital equipment gets where it needs to go.

Riddled with guilt and anger, Art Turner decides that he’s not about to leave his men in someone else’s hands. Against doctrine and against advice, their Captain is going in with his men… leaving Elmer Williams in command… where a deadly surprise lurks just offshore.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, the sailors ashore and the sailors aboard Bull Shark must not only fight but outthink clever and bloodthirsty enemies. Plans within plans unwind as personal grievances threaten to spill over in rivers of blood!

Guns thunder, torpedoes scream and rifles crack in this tension-filled Naval thriller

Yes yes. I've read all the criticisms of these books about accuracy etc. Don't care they're great entertainment. keep them coming Scott!

Having read them this far, I hope I've earned a few genuinely humble and respectful observations though? Please note I'm not a nay sayer. I am a committed fan. Ignore me if you like. I'd not be offensive on purpose.

Dave Alexander has a great voice and a really enjoyable delivery. But he's not great at accents. Help him out by just writing descriptively about the character origin in the dialogue and let him deliver the story in his own fine American tones. Just stuff like, "he said in a clipped / cut glass/ upper class English/gutteral Japanese / heavy German accent" etc. Just say stuff in plain English, but attribute nationality to the speaker. Us limeys and others will fill in the blanks.

British and Australian folks don't speak that much differently to our American cousins. We really don't say "what" after every sentence. This is very old fashioned and "bumbling" English upper class affectation and broadly apocryphal. We don't use terms like "in course" and "proper flats" etc. That really only happens in Patrick O'Brian novels! Just checking that stuff out a little bit more would go a long way towards removing some of the "grating" which can happen in these circumstances, and which can put people off the stories. Although we do occasionally say "jolly good" in the officers mess!

Huge thanks, Scott. Greatly appreciated.
