About this listen

Like all young men of a certain age, Harry Gilmour had his own notion of how a naval battle should be. This wasn't it.

Norway, 1940: Sub Lieutenant Harry Gilmour's first encounter with battleship action is not the adventure he had hoped for. Faced with a thankless task and ill equipped to handle it, Gilmour's inexperience leads to a damning allegation. His future hangs in the balance.

But then Lieutenant Peter Dumaresq steps in to offer him a lifeline - an advanced navigation course that will take him aboard a crack submarine, HMS Pelorus, under the command of a Royal Navy hero. Faced with a possible court martial, Harry chooses life underwater. Once aboard, however, Harry is confronted for the first time by the full horror of submarine warfare. If he can just overcome his fears, it will be the making of him.

Because survival itself is the challenge now. For Harry and the rest of the crew, the next depth charge could be the one that sinks them.

It's no good having a good story if the narrator lets it down. this is a good tale well read.

I now have all the harry Gilmour books and must say it is up there with very best WW2 naval thrillers It is as good if not better than HMS Saracen and HMS Ulysses and is favourably comparable to the cruel sea, the fact is they are so well researched and written that they could be described as modern classics. In addition the narrator is perfect for this series not something you can say about every narrator.

I felt this was great story about Royal navy submarines in world war II . I didn't notice the narration but I could not stop listening, so I think that means the narration was very good.

Enthralling, realistic, with pace and elegance. Takes you to periscope depth, to the submariners' world, to 1940. Read and enjoy.

A cracker for your book bucket list

A really decent series. Not your usual jingoistic, predictable drivel that dominates this genre. An insightful and plausible main character who is developed wonderfully and with subtle touches. I envy anyone who has all these books to look forward to. Great stuff on many levels. (Bloody awful Geordie accent in one book though…… but that’s all I can find to moan about:)
