Summary

In 1941, when she was turned into an armed merchant cruiser, the SS Benbecula was already old. Yet even she was needed to protect the vital Atlantic sea lanes. Commander Lindsay, her new captain, had to work desperately to mould the ship’s company - raw recruits and old-timers - into a fighting force. And better than anyone, Lindsay knew this could be his last command, his last chance.

Wonderful
Story about WWII convoys. Portrays all the atmosphere of the stories of my father who served in the Atlantic convoys. The final
Section of action outstanding and horribly exciting.

Great story

Loved this book. Extremely well read which added to the horror of the war on the High Seas.

Great action story

I don't think I've enjoyed a book so much since I was a young lad. Fast-moving and totally involving with a flavour of the post-war black and white naval films, plus a touch of The African Queen. Narrator David Rintoul was able to inject a suitable tone of urgency and excitement throughout. Brilliant and thoroughly recommended.

So Bloody Brilliant!

By far the most compelling writing and narration I have experienced in a lifetime of reading.
Some of it left me breathless with its realism. Unforgettable.
