Product Description

Product Description

An action story should be read quickly; and this one, which is jam-packed with excitement, is read almost frenetically. In this quintessential WWII offering, the listener follows British commando Michael Blackwood from Burma to North Africa and finally to Sicily on mission after mission in advance of Allied Forces fighting to take back lost territories. This story has all the elements of a battlefield soap opera - love, revenge, heroism, but most of all, irony - and Rintoul's crisp, quick narration captures each moment. Rintoul's deliberate British accent lends credibility to the drama.

From the Publisher

The bestselling novel from the master storyteller of the sea. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars War on sea and land in the meditaranian during 1943., 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dust on the Sea (The Royal Marines - Blackwood family saga) (Hardcover)
Douglas Reeman works his magic again. This time following the wartime career of Mike Blackwood, the latest in a long line of Royal Marines. Newly gazzeted Captain Mike Blackwood, Royal Marine Commando, is being sent on a number of special missions in the meditaranian sea. This book doesn't have quite as much action as the other books I have read in this set. The book loses none of its shine though, as a very deep love interest more than makes up for the loss. The love interest is very well incorporated into the tale,as Reeman links everything together with his usual seemlessness, to make this instalment of the Blackwood family saga pull you in deeper than Badge of glory or The fist to land(the only others I have read as yet). Its references to the forefathers of the Blackwood family from the other books is a welcome touch especialy if you have read some of them already. I have only given this book three stars as I am a lover of action and this book has a tiny bit less than the others I have read, but I still wouldn't have missed it! Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly great book, 27 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dust on the Sea (The Royal Marines) (Paperback)
This follows the same pattern as a lot of his previous WW2 books, still proving that this formula works, and works well. This book is longer than his average, although this makes it all the more interesting. A worthy read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy read but a bit superficial, 8 July 2009
By Script Angel (Solihull, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dust on the Sea (The Royal Marines) (Paperback)
I'm not a lover of military fiction but wanted to give this a go and have to say I was disappointed. It's an easy prose style but unlike, say, the Sharpe series, I found the action rather dull. There's little that is memorable about it, although it's not a bad book, just a bit boring.
