Cost of the book

Good but not worth a credit for a book less than a hour in length

Great story!

Fantastic story. An incredible glimpse into an otherworldly experience. Days after finishing my mind is still coming to grips with what this man went through. Wonderful narration. Really hope for more from this author.

Rangoon calling

A short story of pesky little Praganni perpetually pestered profoundly by the insanity of people in war.

Quite the listen

A gripping story. Shows the desperation of those who did everything they could to not be taken prisoner, and for good reason.

Great Experience

I loved listening to Mark Felton tell this story of the daring warriors of World War 2. Having gone through SERE school in the Navy I appreciated the subjects drive and bravery. Mark tells an excellent story. Very easy to listen to and enjoy. I am looking forward to his next release.

Informative, exciting, and sobering

Very good listen, this story entails the bravery of an individual British soldier trying to survive in some of the most abhorrent of conditions in the inhospitable jungles of Southeastern Asia's. Hunted by the Japanese Army and determined to survive, this story is a refreshing take on the Pacific theater of WWII.

Dr. Felton offers unique perspectives of WWII, and though they may be sobering, his content is always engaging.

Awesome but short

The story was great. Well narrated. But seemed short for a book. This author also has a great YouTube channel under his own name
