Whose Voice the Waters Heard: A WWII Novel

Summary: Jones, Wouk, Griffen, and now Vaughan
Review: After I read his book, Touch The Face of God, I knew I would have to get Robert Vaughan's next WWII novel, WHOSE VOICE THE WATERS HEARD. I had my name in at the bookstore and when it came out, I got the first one. It was well worth the wait. With these two magnificent novels; WHOSE VOICE THE WATERS HEARD, and his earlier,Touch The Face of God, Vaughan has put himself in the same league with James Jones, Herman Wouk, and WEB Griffen. The characters are compelling; Patrick Hannifan who leaves a lucrative musical career to become a submariner, his fiancee, Diane Slayton, and Choirboy, a young black steward who proves his bravery in battle, and his humanity under stress. But one of the most fascinating characters is Commander Yutake Saito, a Japanese officer who gives the readers a unique look at the war from the Japanese perspective.
The only thing wrong with this book is that it did not debut on the best seller list. It is that good, believe me.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS WRITTEN
Review: THE FIRST GOOD WAR STORY I READ WAS "TO HELL AND BACK". I was about 15 yrs. old and very impressed with Mr. Murphy. This book, "Whose Voice the Waters Heard", all though not the same type of war story never the less is very heart felt for those involved in one way or another. If you like some emotion in your reading then find a copy of "Whose Voice the Waters Heard". Do not start reading it until you have time to finish, before going to bed. You might not want to stop reading. You will definitely want more of his books. Normally I read only Westerns, and Mr. Vaughan has some very good ones out there.
