For those in trouble on the sea

Would you listen to Let Not the Deep again? Why?

Yes absolutely because its a remarkable account of men and women putting their lives at risk to save others. Mike Lunnon - Wood writes superbly of the conflict between nature and mans attempts to overcome its forces. "The Cruel Sea" and its power and the combined strength of a hurricane. In fact we did listen to the story twice.

What other book might you compare Let Not the Deep to, and why?

Having read/listened now three of Mike Lunnon - Woods books, a fourth to come. Its his amazing ability to be so accurate and descriptive you are taken into the world and conflict completely.

What about John Telfer’s performance did you like?

If it were not for John Telfer himself a writer, I may not have even known about Mikes Books. I am sad that MIke died so early in his writing career. John thank you and the way you read those stories is outstanding. I loved the way John made the skipper of the Lifeboat to be a man I would want by my side in times of trouble.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

No Mercy !

Any additional comments?

Please listen or read all four of Mike Lunnon - Woods books. Then read John Telfer's. You will also want to listen to them twice...I hope !

I along with my wife help young children to read at their schools. If I could I would love a shorter version of this book for them to read with me.

Enjoyable

OK so it's a bit of a grown up boys own story but really enjoyable and difficult to turn off, John Telfer is new to me and his performance and the variation in characters was amazing. Books 2 & 3 on my Ipod as I write

A little nugget of pure gold.

If you like your nautical adventures and like sitting on the edge of your seat, then this really is for you.
I was entranced from start to finish do much so that I finished it in one go.
The story is credible, well researched and thoroughly entertaining.
I have a huge respect for the RNLI, as a former sailer who has seen them at work, as well as knowing some members of crew, this story was particularly poignant.
Well written, well narrated and presented.

I will be digging into more by the same author.
