The Destroyers

From the author of The First to Land, a novel set during World War II. They called them the Scrapyard Flotilla. After a quarter of a century of service, the eight destroyers had seen all kinds of action.

Now they were to be used in raids to open the way for the invasion of Occupied Europe.

Well done

Great story and extremely well read. I would highly recommend this book. I enjoyed it.

The Royal Navy at its best.

I have always been a fan of naval fiction. Reman got it just right. I could feel the cold and wet of an open bridge, almost taste the hot, bitter coffee that for the watch standers was warming nectar, and remember wardrooms at sea. The combat scenes were perfect—the adrenaline, the confusion, the pinhole pictures with time at almost a standstill. Bravo Zulu. Well done!
