Tom Chatto is Second Officer and navigator of the liner "Orsino", when she comes under attack from the German cruiser "Dresden". He safely guides the ship home, then volunteers for the Royal Naval Reserve. Soon he is the navigator of the "Thornton", whose task is to lure U-boats to the surface.

A propos du livre

From AudioFile

Philip McCutchan's continuing and venerable hero, Lieutenant Tom Chatto, serves aboard a Q-ship during WWI. Disguised as a British merchant vessel, the ORSINO's hidden guns wait for German U-boats to attack. Christopher Scott adds to the excitement of the battles by raising his voice to sound tense and alert. He gives individual voices to all the characters in this sea tale containing abundant naval lingo and details about shipboard life at the time. Since he is English, Scott's credible accents make it easy to imagine one is listening to the crew as they work, skylark, and fight in the Mediterranean wind and sea salt.
