BAND OF BROTHERS

A mixed force of gunboats and torpedo boats from Sussex roars out of England in early 1943 to sink the German U-boat supply ship HEILBRONNE, which is attempting to slip from one harbor to another on the occupied European continent. By itself this makes exciting listening, and it doesn't hurt when a love story or two is thrown into the mix. Historical accuracy and technical detail appear high, too. Christopher Kay possesses a fortunate mix of English accent and perfect diction -- his voice is warm, he cares, he projects us onto the scene. Hard to beat, this one.
