( ) I thought of Alastair MacLean as a writer of implausible potboilers, but this, his first novel, is not bad at all. MacLean had served on a Dido-class light cruiser on Murmansk runs – including the infamous Convoy PQ17 – so he knew what he was talking about in this account of the fictional HMS Ulysses escorting a convoy to Murmansk. The characters are somewhat stereotypical – kindly captain, dedicated surgeon, brave able seamen, but the accounts of the variety of ways people can die horribly on a warship in the Arctic ring true. The German attackers are portrayed as just as brave as the defenders; the Americans are given a polite nod. My copy was a cheap trade paperback; a larger format would have made the ship layout in the front papers easier to understand. (It would be useful to copy this and blow it up to a larger format so you could keep track of who’s dying where). Worth at least 3 stars, I think. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The novel that launched the astonishing career of one of the 20th century's greatest writers of action and suspense - an acclaimed classic of heroism and the sea in World War II. Now reissued in a new cover style. Constant patrols have pushed the crew of the HMS Ulysses beyond the limits of endurance. And now they must be put to sea again, to escort a vital supply convoy heading for Murmansk. As they head deep into the frozen waters they are faced not only with the fierce arctic weather, but a swarm of airborne attacks, German ships, then the feared U-boats, all hellbent on destroying the convoy. With each day threatening another sudden attack, and increasing hardships aboard the frozen ship, Ulysses suffers greater damage trying to protect the other vessels. And soon the journey becomes a tense and deadly game of cat and mouse between the crippled cruiser and her silent pursuers. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
