About this listen
Hong Kong, 1941...
To the residents and defence forces of the Crown Colony of Hong Kong, the war in Europe remains remote. Even the massive build-up of Japanese forces on the Chinese border cannot dent their carefree optimism.
Yet one man suspects the truth. Lieutenant-Commander Esmond Brooke, captain of HMS Serpent and a veteran of the cruel Atlantic, sees all too clearly the folly and incompetence of Hong Kong’s colonial administration. To Brooke, attack by Japan seems inevitable. But, in war, there will always be some who attempt the impossible, even in the face of death.
This is the story of one ship and her company who refuse to accept the anguish of defeat and surrender to a merciless enemy.

another classic Reeman yarn
another classic Reeman yarn of courage of a RN ship. HMS Serpent sails from the Atlantic to Hong Kong and is involved in the final withdrawal as the Japanese take the colony. like so many of his books after a few chapters you feel you know the ship and her company so well.

Not war but Love
This is my favourite Reeman book and I have most of them. I have listened to it over 30 times.
They are really living in the time and place. It is war with a human face but set in real history with I believe near true events.
Most people who listen to one of these series of books will enjoy the novel and its story but be warned they are love stories not war stories.
Enjoy the real characters, what its like on a ship in WW2 and the romance.

Too much romance
Too much romance in this story for me, not enough action until the very end. Very good narrator though.
