Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, a World War II naval thriller of "high and glittering excitement" (The New York Times) from the author of the legendary Hornblower series.

The mission of Commander George Krause of the United States Navy is to protect a convoy of 37 merchant ships making their way across the icy North Atlantic from America to England. There, they will deliver desperately needed supplies, but only if they can make it through the wolf pack of German submarines that awaits and outnumbers them in the perilous seas. For 48 hours, Krause will play a desperate cat-and-mouse game against the submarines, combating exhaustion, hunger, and thirst to protect 50 million dollars worth of cargo and the lives of 3,000 men.

Originally published as The Good Shepherd and acclaimed as one of the best novels of the year in 1955, here is a riveting classic of World War II and naval warfare from one of the 20th century's masters of sea stories.

I have always checked on audiobooks to see if “The Good Shepherd “ by C.S. Forester has finally been done and when Tom Hanks made a movie of it (Greyhound) two readings of it were done with two different readers. This is the better of the two by a wide margin. By the way, the movie is also excellent with the screen play by Tom Hanks capturing the mood of the book perfectly. It’s a wonderful story about an average person rising to greatness in a trying effort to shepherd a convoy across the Atlantic in the early days of World War II. The isolation of the person in command combines with self doubt, fatigue and determination to make a fascinating and compelling story. I don’t read very well anymore and this audiobook has given me an old friend brought back to see me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

One of my favorite books finally recorded.

When you focus on this as a fictional work, it's a great read. Don't nitpick about the details and enjoy.

A great yarn

This is not a book for everyone. Yet I personally found it captivating. The story is delivered well in a staccato fashion which heightens the intrigue. It was not just an exciting story though. Duty, sacrifice, faith and personal responsibility are on full display. I am grateful to be reminded of people who exhibit such. Well done.

Engaging

This book is very different from the movie. It has a lot less action, but you can learn a lot about the thinking of the commander. Glad I listened to it.

Not As Good As the Movie

A great Navy account of Destroyers vs Subs. Nonstop action and strategy. Can’t get enough of

As a retired officer who served on destroyers and submarines and also familiar with anti-submarine warfare, I attest to the wonderful genuineness of this story. It is accurate in all detail, but more, it reveals the incredible thoughts and machinations of the mind while in combat and command. This read is an experience!

More real than you can imagine....

I liked the interesting storyline with its historical perspective of convoys traversing dangerous U-boat infested seas but its redundant narrative in the bridge was tiring. Personalities of officers on the bridge, other than the captain, were barely developed and lowly enlisted sailors were reduced to servants with limited capabilities.

Interesting glimpse of a WW2 convoy but tiring dialogue

I liked so many things, and that makes it hard to just name a few. So, I will just say an all encompassing statement that it was a great book.

Great book from beginning to end!

Hornblower brought forward in time 150 years. Excellent description of WWII antisubmarine warfare. Hard situation in the North Atlantic.

CS Scores again.

I thought I was reading the CS Forrester book but when I finished I received ads for it (The Good Shepherd “ I guess I listened to an adaptation based on the Movie????
While I enjoyed the book, wish I had selected the actual book not the movie version.
