Publisher's Summary

February 1943. As the balance of the war slowly shifts in Britain's favour, Lieutenant-Commander Steven Marshall brings his battle-scarred submarine into home port. Captain and crew are exhausted after 14 months' continuous service, but for most there can be no thought of leave.

If the enemy collapse in North Africa is to be exploited, every experienced man will be needed. Marshall must return to the Mediterranean, but this time to a very different kind of war. For his new command is secret and extremely hazardous - a captured German U-boat....

Good Story, shame about the “dust cover”

It’s a good story, typical Douglas Reeman. It’s just a shame the “dust cover” shows a 20th century nuclear submarine and not a Second World War U boat!

Too much romance!

Well written and performed, but not for me. Although I'm a woman, I really don't enjoy romance in this type of story, so I'm afraid as soon as the main character risked the lives of men under his command for a bit of skirt he barely knew (I'm sure he wouldn't have done so if it had been to rescue blokes) - well, that was my cue to abandon the book.

Great Book.

David Rintoul is a master of the genre and Douglas Reeman can't be bettered. From the Artic Convoys to The Med his story's cover everything from Cruisers to Submarine to Tug Boats. Great escapism and story telling.

Brilliant

Another classic from Reeman. Another reminder of those days when bravery was understated and commonplace.

A good story with its usual mixture of villains

A typical WW2 story from the pen of Douglas Reeman. Good seafaring stuff. As usual there is a hint of romance amongst the action. The villains are both British and German. The narration is good but when there are action scenes described they are delivered with a deep growling voice.

British submariners wreak havoc in capture U boat

Good WW2 story of submarine exploits. Interesting tech stuff. The love angle more than somewhat unlikely.
