Summary
From the author of The First to Land, a novel set during World War II. They called them the Scrapyard Flotilla. After a quarter of a century of service, the eight destroyers had seen all kinds of action.
Now they were to be used in raids to open the way for the invasion of Occupied Europe.

another Mans book
just the thing for when one needs to distract oneself from the bigger issues of the day. True British navy through and through.

Rubbish
First and last time I read this author, a mills and boon romance, utter twaddle.

Excellent
One of the best of all his many books.
Such a shame people like David M who gave such a bizarre review have no imagination, compassion or understanding and worse still such ‘reviews’ can’t be down voted.

an excellent tale
Enjoyed the intricate plot, the usual characters and different names and the excellent and accurate naval references - in my opinion, one of his best stories

A bit drawn out but fascinating nonetheless
The book is of its time and shows the attitudes of those caught up in war and how they dealt with unimaginable loss as well as victory. A bit drawn out but I guess there were long pauses of nothing between horrific battles. Very brave men who should never be forgotten.

Well narrated war story; a bit charactured
This was the first of Douglas Reeman’s books that I’ve read. The plot was somewhat implausible but well narrated.

The Royal Navy at its best.
I have always been a fan of naval fiction. Reman got it just right. I could feel the cold and wet of an open bridge, almost taste the hot, bitter coffee that for the watch standers was warming nectar, and remember wardrooms at sea. The combat scenes were perfect—the adrenaline, the confusion, the pinhole pictures with time at almost a standstill. Bravo Zulu. Well done!
