Douglas Reeman writes outstanding and very realistic naval fiction, perhaps because he served and commanded motor torpedo boats during World War II. To add to the realism, he has a very bad habit of killing off people you like in his novels. But that is what happened in combat.

This book takes place in the Pacific, long after World War II. And it is very, very different from many of his other novels. And I'll be honest and state I didn't like it very much. Still, I had to finish it to see what happened to his characters.
