I read this as a child amongst several Douglas Reeman novels and have just re-read it. It is a good 'boys own' adventure about the captain and crew of HMS Thistle, a corvette diverted off Atlantic convy duties to be part of a special force assisting the Yugoslav resistance. Needless to say most of the characters are flawed in some way, there's some skulduggery within the special force and some love interest. The action ranges from Portsmouth to the Adriatic with Malta and North Africa. The author writes well and makes you feel that you are there in the action and keeps you interested to the end. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The plot includes descriptions of the nasty war that took place in Yugoslavia in 1943. Includes some vividly described sea battles as only Reeman can do them. ( )
