My favourite review so far

Thank you Mr B for this 5 star review. I am deeply honoured.

"A fast-paced and engaging military adventure, that unfolds against the background of early twentieth-century social change. Every chapter is an eventful episode, pacily written and never predictable, which makes The Custom of the Trade quite a page-turner. The wealth of technical detail and distinctive terminology of submarine warfare in the WW1 period makes for an authentic, if occasionally claustrophobic reading experience. Vivid gritty adventure with well-drawn characters, it's an absorbing read that had me looking forward to each evening's return to the book."
