Synopsis

This recording has been digitally produced, by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration.It is 1943, and Captain Hook is at sea aboard a hijacked German U-boat.Hook has heard all the Peter Pan-themed jokes and, as he sets off for La Rochelle, he’s using them himself to boost morale.For he and his motley crew are risking everything to destroy German U-boats…and escape with their lives.It’s an all-or-nothing mission that will push the entire crew – even Hook – to the very edge of their comfort zones. Knowing they have to push on to the bitter end no matter what, the stakes grow ever higher.If they succeed, they are heroes. If they lose…well they can’t lose.The Sheer Nerve takes the reader on a meticulously observed and unflinching journey through the details and often grisly brutalities of war. It is a must-read for anybody interested in World War II history and fans of high quality military fiction.
