Simon Vance
Based on the author's own vivid experiences, The Cruel Sea is the nail-biting story of the crew of HMS Compass Rose, a corvette assigned to protect convoys during World War II.
Darting back and forth across the icy North Atlantic, Compass Rose played a deadly cat-and-mouse game with packs of German U-boats lying in wait beneath the ocean waves. Packed with tension and vivid descriptions of agonizing U-boat hunts, this tale of the most bitter and chilling campaign of the war tells of ordinary men who had to master their own fears before they could face a brutal menace - one that would strike without warning from the deep.

What made the experience of listening to The Cruel Sea the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the novel approach as the facts, figures, tons are well known... it's the hearts and souls who were there that make it interesting.Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
NoIf you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The forgotten service... a lifelineNot a bad way to learn more about the convoys....

A terrific job all around

While fiction, I assume that most of the incidents actually happened to someone or other, so I assume that we can use this as a basis for what the sailors went through.
The story and characters are all highly plausible and Simon Vance's delivery is perfection itself. He really makes this book special; well done!
The book also follows the characters on their personal journey, as they adapt (or succumb) to the pressures of their jobs, or a better understanding of who they are. You really feel that you get to know some of the main characters.
If you want to play a game of this book, go to BoardGameGeek and download the solo print-and-play game Corvette Command by Alan Eagle and try escorting a few convoys. But try to take it seriously and remember the harrowing rescue scenes when you lose a mechantman...
Anyway, fascinating story and storytelling -- I just wish that more of Nicholas Monsarrat's convoy books were on Audible.
