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

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

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
