A first class story by a first class story teller and read by a fine actor who has a facility for the spoken word in this and other stories that is a true gift.

Loved it, a really good book covering an era of history which isn’t usually talked about in fiction or in military history in general and shows the grit of the Royal Marines!

Brilliant!

Only gripe is the presence of a Femme Fatale. To my mind she adds nothing to the story and is superfluous.. A great story despite that.
