Resumen del Editor

The year is 1944, and Lieutenant Harry Gilmour is recovering in Beirut from an ill-fated British campaign to seize the Greek Islands.

After four years at sea, he is expecting a shore job as his next appointment. Instead, a flash signal from C-in-C Mediterranean arrives: Report to Alexandria and assume command of HM Submarine Saraband.

His new command has just arrived there en route to the Indian Ocean and the war against Japan. But there’s been trouble on board - "conduct prejudicial to naval discipline" - and the skipper and first lieutenant have been summarily removed. Now it’s up to Harry Gilmour to pick up the pieces.

With a sullen, uncooperative crew, Harry must navigate Japanese convoy routes through the shallow, treacherous waters of the Malay Archipelago. There, endless, sweltering hunts for targets through the island chains leave Saraband’s crew even more exhausted and demoralized. Yet if they are to survive against an Imperial Japanese Navy growing in anti-submarine expertise, Harry must turn them into a taut fighting machine.

Because waiting for them, as the war in the Far East grinds toward its final conclusion, is a mission as daring and audacious as it is vital. One that could deliver the Royal Navy’s most spectacular success of the war.

David Black is the author of the Harry Gilmour series of novels set in the Royal Navy submarine service during the Second World War. He also wrote All the Freshness of the Morning, a fictionalized account of President John F. Kennedy’s epic wartime service as skipper of the US Navy torpedo boat PT-109 during the Solomon Islands campaign against the Japanese in the South Pacific. Black is a former UK national newspaper journalist and TV documentary producer. He now lives in Argyll and writes full-time.

Another brilliant book and audio book

This series never disappoints. just when I think there isn't another exciting, fascinating scene to be created, this book keeps them coming to the very end.

Terrific, absorbing audiobook.

Very well-written story and equally suberb narrator. I listen to audiobooks while I walk or bike. I love working out and having a absorbing story AND narrator as I work out, what a joy!
