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.

Not the yellow submarine
Although war stories are not my genre, I thought this book might be different - and it was.
Submarine stories are not a normal setting.
The pomposity and class system of the poms grated and I enjoyed that part of the story as much as Harry Gilmour.
As soon as people speak the class divide is set. It is ugly and repressive.
Once Harry is accepted as a submariner, the whole tone of the book improved.
Their lives and journeys were interesting and dangerous.

Excellent! Beautifully written sea story
One on the best naval novel I have listened to. For lovers of a good ww2 sea novel (and I have listened to a lot) this is one of the most engrossing and enjoyable I have listened to, I am about to read the next book in the series about a dog called Stalin! Reader was excellent. Same reader for the next book! David from Australia.
