About this listen
It is 1915: Ben Retallick is asked by a War Office friend to provide two traction engines for a secret expedition attempting to take two gunboats overland from Cape Town to Lake Tanganyika - more than 3,000 miles - to wrest control of the lake from the Germans. He sends engines with young Ruddlemoor as the driver, who meets a Portuguese East African nurse and takes her side against a group of white racist South Africans.
Meanwhile, Antonia St Anna is influential in having Been released, when he is arrested on circumstantial evidence provided by a business rival and accused of being pro-German.
In Brothers in War, E. V. Thompson returns to his acclaimed Retallick saga, immersing the family in the upheaval of the First World War and, through them, creating a captivating tale of love and war, loyalty and betrayal, loss and adventure that weaves its way from Cornwall to the uncharted territory of the depths of Africa - and an eventful conclusion in Cornwall once more.

Brothers in War.
I have read a number of E V Thomson books in the past & enjoyed all of them, & when I looked to see if I could get any more as audible books, I was very disappointed to see that there were only two titles available as audible books.
As I like to listen to books being narrated while I'm driving, especially on long journeys as well as listening to them in the evenings if there's nothing on TV that I want to watch, or when I'm on a 6 to 12 miles walk on holiday, it's nice to have something to listen to even if I have someone else with me to talk to. So it would be nice if Mr, Thompson would allow more of his books to be narrated as audible books.

Fabulous entertainment
Always loved reading this ‘series’ so I was so happy I found it on audible . Well read and a great fascinating story .. However, it’s such a shame that this is the 9th and final book of the ‘Retallick series ‘!! None of the previous books .... equally as brilliant and much loved , are on audible . Please Audible get the other ones sorted

Great story spoiled by wooden narration
Really interesting book, and lots of insights into the war not only in Cornwall but Africa too. Well worth persevering despite the narration being wooden and unsympathetic to the flow of the story. I often listen in bed and some of the strange pauses as the narrator seemed to gather himself made me check to see if the iPod had gone into sleep mode. Not sure if I'll bother with another book with this narrator.
