Summary
At the height of the Cold War, officials at the Ministry of Defence conducted a highly secret investigation into unusual events that occurred along a strip of rugged Pembrokeshire coastline. The events made national headlines: objects hovering in the sky, ghostly figures peering into windows and poltergeists plaguing a terrified family.
Thirty years later, the official files were finally released for public scrutiny and prompted a new witness to come forward. His testimony rocked the very foundations of the British Government. This is his story.

And alternative look at a true story
While the author has taken a few liberties with the geography of the area. I was thrilling to hear of the story that took place in the area I live in

Incredible!
I am in love with Leighton Pugh's voice, and Neil String's clever creation of stories that start with real facts. I found this to be both fascinating and disturbing, and stayed up all night listening to this in bed whilst my husband slept peacefully beside me.
I can't wait to read more of Mr String's work.

Really riveting.
Really good story fictionally based on truths. It swings your mind from one idea to the next and ends up with something completely different which many would also consider the truth....

An interesting take on the Dyfed Triangle
An interesting take on the Dyfed Triangle (Broadhaven Triangle), though I went into it hoping for a good sci-fi horror it actually turns out it's a paranormal take on the events, which I was a bit disappointed by but that's just me as I was expecting something else not fault to the author.
The performance was good with great Welsh accent and a pretty good Margret Thatcher impression too! I was a little disappointed by the mispronunciation of a couple Welsh words here and there, especially the name Llewelyn. The character as a Welsh person would of been able to pronounce the Welsh word's correctly and it stuck out a bit for me, especially as I too am a Welsh person.

Story didn't impress me.
I was just hoping for more. It is one of, if not my favourite of sub genre's. Having walked the Pembrokeshire coastline I was very much looking forward to this. consequently it may have set my expectations a little too high. Narrator was very good, but the story just didn't grab me.

An enjoyable mix....
A neat twist on Doctor Who - The Daemons with a dash of The Curse of Fenric. Well written and performed. Looking forward to more in this series as well as further adventures of Harry Price.

Creepy
Couldn't wait to listen to it again. Addictive listening with fantastic narration . Made all the more creepy by the fact that I live in Wales.

FANTASTIC
This book is awesome!!! Like Neil Spring's other books it really draws you in a makes you feel like your one of the characters.
This book needs to be turned into a film but stick to the book.

Bit of a disappointment but did enjoy it!
This is a bit of a mixed bag. The premise behind the story is okay but loses something in the telling. It is very like HP Lovecraft, but not quite as creepy. I actually found it quite amusing. I did listen to it right through to the end and will confess to having enjoyed it to a certain extent but it was missing something. The narrator did well. I was reminded of Richard Burton in the original War of the Worlds recording (Jeff Wayne)
I don't know if I would get another Neil Spring audio book though...
