Brilliantly read
Brilliantly read by Anton Lesser. Intonation makes it interesting , subtle change in voices, no loud or over-egged gravelly voices- sublime - the best I’ve heard.

Enjoyable
Really enjoyed this book although a little dated to our ears. I am no lover of boats, getting seasick standing on a pontoon l never the less got involved with the mapping and boat terms, and the whole storyline.

A classic
A classic of its time. A moody spy thriller as war looms between Britain and Germany

Exciting ‘Boys own’ story
Well written spy story that engages both the readers mind and imagination. I read a paperback copy of this book some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed this edition.

Too many words
Some great turns of phrases, research of the seas must have been extensive but I had to skip a lot.

Well written but became boring
I appreciate that this is a well-written and excellently narrated book but I found all the details about sailing, navigation and sea currents became tedious and slowed the action to the extent that it became boring. I gave up after 8 hours. The depiction of foreigners reflects the attitudes of the English pre-WW1.

Fantastic read.
Anton Lesser is a master of the art. He really brings this already gripping story to life and makes the characters utterly believable.

Could have used a map
I enjoyed this very much. Not knowing that Childers was an author as well as a politician, I was surprised by his story telling ability. There's lots of place-names to remember, so a map would have been useful.
Very well read
