Publisher's summary

A collection of previously published and new short stories by author Martin Roy Hill. In the title story, "Duty," a Cold War soldier faces the prospect of starting WWIII. In "Something Far Away," a former Coastguardsman must face his ghosts from the past. A Navy investigator faces a different kind of ghost aboard a nuclear aircraft carrier in "Destroyer Turns." "Brandenberg's Diaries" tells the story of a retired spy's last mission during Glasnost. A group of soldiers faces the curse of war over several generations in "The Stragglers." And in "The Use of Innocence," a Vietnam vet contemplates a younger generation eager for another war.

"Hill's writing is sparse but packs so much into each tale that you leave one story satisfied yet eager to dive into the next one. They are that good." (Reader's Favorite)

Thought-provoking Short Stories

I really enjoyed "Duty". It was a collection of short stories of varying lengths. I liked some stories more than others, but I found them all entertaining and thought-provoking. Once I started listening, I became so absorbed by each tale that I had to listen until the end. I recommend this collection to others who enjoy this genre. Tim Danko's prosaic narration maintained the ambiance and tone of the stories. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

An enjoyable, unique read

Duty: Suspense and Mystery Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, my fifth read/listen from author Martin Roy Hill, an entertaining & thought provoking collection of short stories. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Hill’s regular narrator, Tim Danko's narration made the book flow smoothly & quickly. I look forward to reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
