This book is a thriller from beginning to end. The last several chapters are written with exceptional realism that engulfs one's emotions and feeling you are experiencing the horrors of war, with the action in the last chapter very authentic and reading like one of Indiana Jones' movies with constantly changing situations and drama. The fictional career of Ensign Mason parallels that of many fine Coast Guard officers during World War Two, and typifies the role played by the Coast Guard in manning Navy ships and landing craft in that war. This is a novel that will be of particular interest to those who served in the military during any war.

This book deserves wide circulation. It is maserfully written and depicts accurately life aboard an escort vessel in the Mediterranean during World War Two. The thoughtful Soliloquy, and Glossary at the back of the book, are informative and special.
