About this listen

There will be days when you wonder at and question some of the risks you had to take, the sacrifices you were forced to offer in the face of death.

In Kiel Harbour, 1945, the war in Europe is at an end. But for Lieutenant Vere Marriott and the men of MGB 801, moored amid a nightmare of devastation, it is an uneasy, unsettled peace. New assignments ashore and afloat mean fresh tensions and conflicting emotions.

For some, glory now takes second place to profit. For others, revenge at last seems within their grasp. No one is shooting at Marriott now. But dangers come thick and fast - from confrontation with the Russians to his feelings for Fraulein Geghim. There is more to victory than survival....

Not an easy story to write. Certainly not the others I have listened too nevertheless it was a great accident of what it would have been like for those who survived.

This was an unusual novel still outstanding narration by David Rintoul but the story was a bit weak, ok it was set at the end of hostilities during WW2 and the time of the allies having to look after the German Population and all the POW’s. Very difficult and turbulent times. Just felt there was no substance to the story having said that I still finished the book and enjoyed it.

Set at the end of the war in Europe.

Not much of a story. Little chance of action as the war ends. Excellent performance.
