- Roger Moore reads Thunder Point by Jack Higgins. Audiobook. Abridged
Thunder Point (1993) An amateur diver discovers a sunken U-boat from WWII. He also discovers a water tight briefcase which contains a diary of Hitler’s secretary Martin Bormann. Even more shocking, it contains the names of UK and US Nazi sympathizers some of whom are still alive and holding important positions. In this audiobook, you’ll be able to hear Roger Moore take on all the characters in this exciting story of international intrigue.
Jack Higgins (1929-2022) is the pen name for Henry Patterson. He was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England. He learned to read at 3 and read Oliver Twist at 6. From 1947-49 Mr. Patterson was in the army and cavalry and did security along the east German wall. Afterwards he earned his teaching certificate and lectured at what’s now called Leeds Beckett University. Mr. Patterson first book was published in 1959 for which he received an advance of £79. His books were published under his name and several pseudonyms before in settled on Jack Higgins in 1970. His most famous book is The Eagle Has Landed. Henry Patterson's (Jack Higgins) 85 novels have sold over 250 million copies and have been translated into 55 languages. P.S. Sorry about the misspelling of Higgins on the video.
Roger Moore (1923-2017) Born in London, Roger got his first break into movies since his policeman father investigated a burglary of director Brian Hurst’s home. Mr. Hurst gave Roger a role as an extra in the film Caesar and Cleopatra starring Vivian Leigh. Roger Moore continued to get small roles in films and television before starring in the series Ivanhoe (1958-9). He gained fame as a leading man in the popular series The Saint (1962-69) and to a lesser extent in The Persuaders (1969-1972) costarring with Tony Curtis. However, it was his role as James Bond for 7 films that earned him worldwide recognition and fame. P.S. Moonraker, one of Moore’s Bond films, was also made into an audiobook which I plan to release next on Great Books on Tape.

God bless Roger Moore! An outstanding actor, a marvelous James Bond, and a perfection gentleman! Such bearing and grace are not found in many these days, such are the self-centered, rude, and coarse human beings.
Let's not forget 'The Saint'. He was great in that!
Agreed entirely.
" Thanks to the terrible power of our International Banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value forJews, since Christians massacre each other and make more room for usJews. Wars are theJews' Harvest, The Jewbanks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100-million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars, and the end is not yet." - rabbiReichorn, speaking at funeral of Grand rabbiSimeon Ben-Judah, 1869.

What a fabulous narrator Roger Moore was………sadly missed……Thank you for this .
Growing up Jack Higgins was my favourite author. Thanks for sharing this and Roger Moore, what an exceptional narrator and actor.
Excellent! Enjoyed this thoroughly . Brilliant story, I have read quite a few Jack Higgins and are always thoroughly absorbing . The narration by Sir Roger Moore was fantastic as we're his accents of the characters in the story . Performed wonderfully. Could listen to this again and again . Thank you!
I do (listen to it again and again)! I love hearing the plot develop each time. And yes Roger Moore brought it alive. Cracking actor.
Roger Moore could read his shopping list and it would sound wonderful. Greatly missed 💔
Yes I agree and he didn't have the gall to tell you how to vote
Good old Roj ..... an inspired fit to take on a Jak Higgins. An appetising combo for a greart listen. ....Many thanks 👍
So pleased you've brought these gems to us, I look forward to seeing what else might turn up. Thank you so much, good audiobooks are a blessing to many of us out here.
Glad you enjoyed it. What I recommend is to choose anything even remotely interesting and listen for 10 minutes. Usually by then you'll know if you want to keep listening.
P.S. I hope the demon overlord didn't find you messing with his computer and dipping your paws into the fish tank. :-)
Loved this. Good story well read by Roger Moore. RIP
I think he didn't take life to serious ' and I think he was one of the best James bonds ' 👍👍👍
Thank you, Sir Roger. Such a superb narrator. Also a good story.
I was surprised myself by how good his reading performance was. Sometimes you realize how talented an actor is by seeing or hearing them perform outside of what they are best known for.
Brilliant story so very well read by Sir Roger, couldn't sleep after listening so had to hear the whole story at once 👏
Loved this book, as with all Jack Higgin's books.
Grand adventure, with irreplaceable narration by Roger Moore.
I recently finished listening and Roger Moore gives a remarkable voice performance. It led me to start watching "The Saint" series.
Excellent narration by roger which might as well be a radio show with his remarkable skills.
Good old Roger what a voice compelling to listen too .
A good book , excellently read by the incredible Roger Moore , has anyone found other books narrated by Sir Roger ?
I can hear Moore's eyebrows raising and falling. Amazing.
Outstanding! RIP Jack Higgins
Shallow German boat story?

That was really good... Hi from sunny newzealand
..and buck-toothed commie PM dictator.
I remember when I was a very small girl. A German pilot has bailed out of his plane above our church somewhere. Unfortunately his parachute didn't open and he came down at an angle into the church wrought iron gates. Sliced him up like a kipper. Terrible. Never forget that.
I bet tinge of human there.
Hahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ATROCITY PROPAGANDA - " Atrocity propaganda is how we won the war. And we're only really beginning with it now ! We will continue this atrocity propaganda, we will escalate it until nobody will accept even a good word from the Germans, until all the sympathy they may still have abroad will have been destroyed and they themselves will be so confused that they will no longer know what they are doing. Once that has been achieved, once they begin to run down their own country and their own people, not reluctantly but with eagerness to please the victors, only then will our victory be complete. IT WILL NEVER BE FINAL. Re-education needs careful tending, like an English lawn. Even one moment of negligence, and the weeds crop up again - those indestructible weeds of historical TRUTH. " - SeftonDalmer (1904-1979), former British Chief of ' Black Propaganda ': Said after the German surrender in 1945 in a conversation with the German Professor of lnternation Law Dr.FriedrichGrimm.
@@fw6667 quite right, we should of been far more welcoming.
Mr. Patterson was in the army and Calvary and did security along the east German wall.
Calvary?
Is there a sequel to this novel?
I loved it.
Absolutely Blooming Fabulous! 🎉
This book is for kids but Roger Moore is good
Then I am a kid!
How could the 'Good Guys' leave every Important Person Unprotected at every turn?
After the first Guy was killed you would think they might expect trouble.
Then, in the last 15 minutes they suddenly have Radar.
My favorite James Bond
Most enjjoyable
Great book. Too bad I know about the VI after a storm. And the St. Thomas hospital? Lucky anyone survived it, especially now as it's still wrecked from the 2017 storms. St. John isn't all that exclusive, either.
A good book isn't great when it's abridged. I would never read or listen to a book that has been cut to pieces. Especially when written by Jack Higgins and read by Roger Moore. Cheers
Why are you here then?
Uufff, you do realize that's exactly what the editor did in the first instance. What if a single sentence was removed ? Would you read it still with the same resolution?
R.I.P Sir Rodger Moore
Oh BTW you lot should read the book ,, MAGNIFICENT,
Why is Jack Higgins surname spelt with an E??
Good catch! My mistake. I'll have to fix it. For your reward you get to listen to all future GBOT uploads for 50% off. :-)

Higgins name is spelled wrong in the thumbprint.
Thanks, got it fixed on the thumbnail but not on the video (too lazy).
@@greatbooksontape782 Nobody is that lazy.
That's "Sir" Roger Moore.
Not if you don't buy into that British BS.
Who's Jack Higgens? A mate of Jack Higgins, perhaps?
His evil twin. I blame my left hand.
The Duke of Windsor seemed to be a real weasel in real life.
All the Windsors are
Leeds university not leads!
Corrected, thanks. I also misspelled Higgins on the video but had already deleted the images and was too lazy to redo it.:-(
Eva Braun..Brown?
Such a dull and poorly-written story, rescued by an exceptional performance by Roger Moore.
Not bad, but some of the elements of this plot are ludicrous, the lack of caution demonstrated by the main protagonists ( who are supposed to be intelligence professionals ) is just unbelievable, again and again they partake in actions that make little sense ( they leave their seaplane unattended , they leave the girl who knows where the sub is unprotected after the opposition are killing off people with wild abandon, once they have the documents they take zero precautions to stop it being stolen , there are no agents to back them up yet this is a vital operation ... why? ) there are so few precautions taken its obvious they are simply just there to act as plot devices.
This is just sloppy writing.
Cant agree that Moore does a good job, much of the time during the action scenes he runs sentences into each other, timing is everything, in this case, its absent about 20% of the time. hes not bad, but he could have done a much better job.
I agree it is an hodgepodge story because of the lack of the correct precautions of the protagonists. I do not agree that Sir Roger did any other than his best and his best is more than good enough for an abridged version. However it must have offended his sense for the storyline. The Saint would not have made such gaffs and Bond would have laughed at such incompetence.
This isn't THE worst book I've ever read but it's one of the worst.
Yes, agreed. Both narrator and author appear well past their best.
I thought it was a real story.....
Lovely voice, but pathetic story.
