TWELVE SECONDS TO LIVE

Douglas Reeman is one of the finest war novelists of our time. His 35 books written under his true name, and his 26 penned under the name Alexander Kent, capture the essence of combat. Unlike other writers who spend a great deal of time on the battle scenes, Reeman is content to let the action take a more languid journey while he creates unforgettable characters. Narrator Steven Crossley is up to the task of telling the story of a British minesweeper caught up in a cat-and-mouse game with a German mini-sub. Reeman's fans are legion and will eagerly embrace this saga of one of the most dangerous naval missions imaginable. J.L.C. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 03]
