Storm Warning

Honourable Duncan Morant, Book 1

De: Alan Savage

Narrado por: Jonathan Brenner

A thrilling adventure story set in World War II, and the first book in the Honourable Duncan Morant series.

In August 1939, Duncan Morant, the only son and heir of the second Lord Eversham, is enjoying life as a man-about-town, skippering his racing schooner Kristin. But Duncan is also a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, and as the war clouds gather, he is called up.

Due to his experience navigating the English Channel in small boats, Morant is given command of one of the new torpedoes. This is a disappointment—both because he had hoped for a place on a battleship, and because no one in the Navy seems to know what these boats are for. However, as the war takes a disastrous turn, the Channel becomes a battleground, and Duncan and his crew, in their plywood hull, find themselves in the thick of hazardous operations.

Old fashioned adventure

Like the war novels I grew up with in the 1950s, it was a delight. Perhaps less inuendo and more outright sex than in the 50s, but a fun read.

Fun read

Took a bit to get the accents down but picked them up pretty quick. Enjoyable.
