This World War II Thriller is Not Pattinson's Best,
By
This review is from: On Desperate Seas (Hardcover)
Whilst the majority of Pattinson's other work is a lot higher quality than On Desperate Seas, this 1961 published World War 2 adventure is good enough to pass the time. In this novel British tanker Rosa Dartle has a mismatched crew who are all part of the Merchant Navy of either Britain or America. Their job is to take the ship full of industrial alcohol all the way from Philadelphia in the USA to Murmansk in Russia. Although they must survive German bombers and submarines their greatest threat to making it alive is each other.James Pattinson writes in an old man style where his characters use words that show Pattinson is obviously from a previous generation and not quite down with the lingo of today but this style does add something unique and enjoyable to his novels. Better Pattinson novels than On Desperate Seas are The Silent Voyage, Skeleton Island, The Time of Your Life, Away With Murder, Blind Date, The Murmansk Assignment, Obituary for Howard Grey, Crane, The Animal Gang, Spoilers, The Golden Reef, A Car for Mr Bradley and Life Preserver. |
