Summary

December 1917. Germany opens the final, bitter round of the war with a new and deadly weapon in the struggle for the seas - the Vulcan sails from Kiel Harbour. To all appearances she is a harmless merchant vessel.

But her peaceful lines conceal a merciless firepower; guns, mines and torpedoes that can be brought into play instantly. The Vulcan is a commerce raider and her mission is to bring chaos to the seaways.

Really enjoyed this book

I have always loved Douglas Reeman books and thought this was great. I don't get time to read these days so I listened to it in my car, made the journey to and from work much more bearable.

Historical adventure

What made the experience of listening to The Last Raider the most enjoyable?

Evocative of the global scale and personal impact of the first world war and how personal stories can evolve develop and change under the pressures of war.
