One of Douglas Reeman’s better books, and David Rintoul’s reading of it is great. Couldn’t stop listening to it.

Douglas Reeman is a master at bringing to life the Royal Navy at war, he draws the listener or reader into the triumphs and tragedy of the war at sea!

His characters are believable and you really get a sense of the life and times they are living through.

I would be remiss if I also didn't mention his ability to bring the ships to life, they are as much a character in the story as the people who serve in them!

The listener may recognise aspects of the story that mirror that of the famous Royal Navy Battleship HMS Warspite , her story has been told in numerous books but I'd recommend the one simply titled WARSPITE!

If you like a good sea story with full, believable characters, you'll enjoy this book!

Douglas Reeman at his best!

One of DR’s best in my opinion along with the last raider - always read pitch perfect by David Rintoul

Always good but this is up there

A totally convincing story, reminicent of real HMS ships life aboard. Descriptions of officers and ratings alike are very descriptive. Recounts of engagements are excellent.

full of characters..
