About this listen

In November 1941, Lt Ralph Trewin, DSC arrives at Singapore as second-in-command of HMS Porcupine. To the shell-shocked Trewin, the gun boat and her five elderly consorts symbolise the ignorance and blind optimism he finds in Singapore.

I have listened to rather a lot of audio books and many by Douglas Reeman this has been 1 of my favourites, I could listened to David Rintoul forever he really brings the story to life almost as if you were watching rather than listening.

In my top 10

Wonderful book a great story set against the backdrop of the battle for Singapore. I always enjoy Douglas Reeman stories but this one was especially gripping and I really enjoyed it, was hard to stop listening. Great Narration by David Rintoul as always.

Gripping from Beginning to the End

A very good story

Very good nautical read centred around the fall of Singapore. I usually think Reeman to be weak in the matter of romance, but in this novel the subject is deftly handled.
As usual David Rintoul's narration is spot on.

Excellent yarn
