Library Journal
Pope, who is best known for his ``Ramage'' series set in the days of sail, presents a modern-day story here: a World War II novel about submarine hunters in the North Atlantic. The action follows lieutenant Ned Yorke of the British Navy, who is sent to investigate a rash of unexplained convoy sinkings. He must find out how German submarines are arriving undetected in the midst of the convoys and why a mysterious Swedish vessel is always present. Posing as a shipwrecked sailor, he manages to get aboard the Swedish ship. Yorke is a convincing character, and the plot is compelling enough to interest most readers. More technical details of actual ship-handling and battle might please the real sea story buff, but on the whole this is a good, entertaining novel. C. Robert Nixon, M.L.S., W. Lafayette, Ind.
