About this listen

Spring, 1941. France has fallen but the Free French naval forces are in no mood to surrender. Royal Navy Sub-Lieutenant Harry Gilmour is also ready for action, despite the horrors of his first taste of submarine warfare.

When he is appointed as British Navy Liaison Officer aboard the Free French submarine Radegonde, he finds it anarchic, disorientating - and very French. Within its claustrophobic confines, suspicion and misunderstanding are rife.

So when Radegonde is sent on a mission to Martinique, it's vital that these proud men learn to work together, especially as it seems everyone from Churchill to de Gaulle - not to mention Hitler - has a stake in the outcome.

Will Harry be able to navigate these dangerous waters safely and return with hard-won wisdom, or will old enemies arise to sink him?

An enjoyable and easy listen for anyone interested in World War II naval stories. The Skipper's Dog's Called Stalin keeps a good pace throughout and offers a nice mix of action, atmosphere, and historical flavor. The submarine setting in 1941, with the Free French naval forces continuing the fight after the fall of France, makes for an engaging backdrop, and the story stays entertaining from start to finish.

What really elevates the audiobook, however, is the narration. James Langton does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. His voice acting is clear, expressive, and easy to follow, which makes the listening experience very smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, a very pleasant and accessible WWII submarine adventure, and highly recommended as an audiobook thanks to Langton’s outstanding narration.

I congratulate David Black for #2 of an elegant subsea series . Brisk, totally believable action. Lightly sketched characters. Somehow, the strategic and political background, the technical details and the crammed crew conditions are lightly blended into a novel of quality. I was immersed.

A cracking yarn of young submarine officers

i have enjoyed the kindle editions of this book and the whole series. David Black not only tells a tale, but also conveys the issues of the day for a very young RNVR officer. i hope hope book six is not the last!

A great series of books.

A great tale

Great tales of dare and do plus family strife. Harry Gilmour could do with a bit more aggressive behaviour towards those that taunt him. Having said that, lol, we wouldn't have a story as he would have been jailed! Am still not convinced on the narration, something amiss. Otherwise a good book and look forward to book three. Am sure it's going to get better.
