About this listen

Ungentlemanly Warfare is a captivating historical thriller about a pivotal and dramatic event from the Second World War.

A soldier and a spy, an officer but not quite a gentleman, Captain Harry Walsh is SOE's secret weapon. Loathed by his own commanding officer, haunted by the death of his closest friend and trapped in a loveless marriage, Harry Walsh is close to burnout when he is ordered to assassinate the man behind the ME 163 Komet, Hitler's miracle jet fighter. If Walsh fails, there is no prospect of Allied victory in Europe. Harry Walsh is ruthless, unorthodox and ungentlemanly. He is about to wreak havoc....

Harmless Little Story

Well narrated , variety of entertaining accents - apart from female love interest who came across as a camp male. Entertainingly portrayed characters, especially if you like 'allo 'allo.

excellent

I have never read a Howard Linksey book before but I will be after this! I was hooked from the start! The story flowed and was very interesting, the characters were believable and the narrator read it well. I was sorry it when it ended!

Outstanding

This appeared in the plus catalogue and I thought let’s give it a go. Glad I did it was great. Historically relevant and in the same calibre of story and narration as the Len Deighton books venturing on Harry Palmer. Genuinely good and I recommend it.
Hussar!

Not bad.

The gruff voice didn’t suit a 30 something agent but overall the narrator was good. The story was ok but not startling.

Fantastic WW2 novel based on true events. Pure excellence

Fantastic story, well written and expertly narrated as always by Jonathan Kemble. Highly recommend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will look out for other titles from this author.

Great SOE story, slightly let down.

Pacy and well researched. Feels authentic, good characters if you like spy’s and action hero type stuff. For the most part the book works. The sections that didn’t for me where the romance/sex sections. It was all a bit obvious and felt shoe horned in as though the author had decided need to get a bit of sex and love interest into the story so they are more likely to make it into a film. If that had been handled a little more subtly and convincingly it would have made a good book into a really good book. Still a fine listen. May try others by the author. Jonathan Keeble is a very accomplished voice actor so will definitely try more of his work too.

Thrilling

Excellently read, gripping plot and believable characters. Even the rather hammy German accents didn’t manage to spoil this thrilling adventure.
