About this listen

At the height of the Cold War, officials at the Ministry of Defence conducted a highly secret investigation into unusual events that occurred along a strip of rugged Pembrokeshire coastline. The events made national headlines: objects hovering in the sky, ghostly figures peering into windows and poltergeists plaguing a terrified family.

Thirty years later, the official files were finally released for public scrutiny and prompted a new witness to come forward. His testimony rocked the very foundations of the British Government. This is his story.

Critic reviews

"Spring's fast-paced but often deliciously creepy novel has an orphaned hero, a spooky, isolated farmhouse and things that go bump in the night...highly readable." ( Herald Scotland)
"A triumph of creativity.... Pick it up as soon as you can and see if you can unravel the mystery of the Broad Haven Triangle - the conclusion will shock and amaze you." ( Vada Magazine)

I was just hoping for more. It is one of, if not my favourite of sub genre's. Having walked the Pembrokeshire coastline I was very much looking forward to this. consequently it may have set my expectations a little too high. Narrator was very good, but the story just didn't grab me.

Story didn't impress me.

Couldn't wait to listen to it again. Addictive listening with fantastic narration . Made all the more creepy by the fact that I live in Wales.

This is a bit of a mixed bag. The premise behind the story is okay but loses something in the telling. It is very like HP Lovecraft, but not quite as creepy. I actually found it quite amusing. I did listen to it right through to the end and will confess to having enjoyed it to a certain extent but it was missing something. The narrator did well. I was reminded of Richard Burton in the original War of the Worlds recording (Jeff Wayne)

I don't know if I would get another Neil Spring audio book though...

Bit of a disappointment but did enjoy it!

This book is awesome!!! Like Neil Spring's other books it really draws you in a makes you feel like your one of the characters.

This book needs to be turned into a film but stick to the book.

FANTASTIC
