Summary
HMS Royston, Coastal Forces Depot Ship, is mother ship to a battered, war-worn bunch of MTBs and MGBs. New on board is Sub-Lieutenant Royce: commissioned for three months, sea experience three months in an Asdic trawler, and aged 20. His commanding officer is Lieutenant Harston, aged 23.
His predecessor has been killed in action 48 hours earlier and is now hardly remembered. The crew are all young - some very young - but all old before their time....

Formulaic, Douglas Reaman
Standard stuff at least romance was kept to acceptable levels ( for a change) with excellent combat sequences

A ripping good yarn
The book starts well. The dash and daring of an MTB vessel braving it out against bigger foes, coupled with the gritty hardship of a crew and their complex camaraderie. However, it tales off towards the end of the novel, with the "love interest" taking the flag. Overall quite an exciting tale but perhaps momentum drops towards the end.

Immersed from start to finish
The third reeman book I have listen to and what a world it portrays, great action pieces but the reality of life aboard the ship is what really brings the story to life.

Good and well crafted characters.
Plot so filled with action that you can taste the sea.

Classic Reeman
Just what you'd expect from Douglas Reeman! Taut and full of suspense and authenticity. You can smell the sea air!

Pretty good
But a bit of a bodice ripper, without any bodice ripping! Worth a listen though.
