Publisher's summary

The Mediterranean, 1943... The HMS Rob Roy. A tiny machine, just 230 feet from stem to stern. In peacetime she would have trawled for cod. Now her catch is deadlier by far. Lieutenant-Commander Ian Ransome is a veteran of the treacherous front line of naval combat. For three years, he’s swept the explosive curtain of Nazi mines that shrouds the British Isles. Now, under sealed orders in the battle-tossed waters of the Mediterranean, he and his jack-tired crew face one final test of their courage and seamanship under fire. Their secret mission: to spearhead the Allies’ desperate invasion of Italy.

A wonderful book by Reeman

This book doesn't have as much action as some other books by Douglas Reeman but has more heart than some others. I read some of the other reviews for this book and everyone is entitled to their opinion but in my opinion this was one of his best books. I really cared for his characters in this one.

Shallow, false characters. Notthing but clichés.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book is not for anyone. There are thousands of fantastic novels about the war at sea, at you should rather spend your precious time listening to those.

Has In Danger's Hour turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

What does David Rintoul bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He reads fast. Gets over with it. Good.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It's not all that long.
