Below a dark and angry sea, men in the submarines of the British Navy prowl. Explosive spherical mines lie silently in wait for their weathered vessels. At any time, the abyssals of the Atlantic can be rocked by the terrifying din of a mine exploding and a boat imploding. Manning these cramped vessels is a fulltime hardship, with myriad risks and sometimes terrifying emergencies. But an even more dangerous vocation can be found on land at the British Navy's Special Counter-measures-a place where men with either a death wish or nothing left to lose defuse enormous seamines. If any of these subjects stimulate your interest, Douglas Reeman's Twelve Seconds to Live explores them with zest and tasteful drama in this masterful work of naval fiction.

      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
