4.0 out of 5 stars
Indistinguishable hero, but still a good story,
By Andrew S. Rogers (Stamford, Connecticut) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Destroyers (Paperback)
Much as I love Douglas Reeman's war-at-sea stories, it's probably not a good idea to read too many of them in too close a sequence. Many of Reeman's titles feature variations on two or three stock characters, and after a while, it's hard to tell Keith Drummond of this novel apart from John Devane of 'Torpedo Run' or any number of Our Heroes from other titles.The real centerpieces of Reeman's stories, though, are ships and battles, and when it comes to this, the various titles stand out much more clearly. In 'The Destroyers,' Commander Drummond has to lead a group of tired old tin cans (did the British call them that too?) on a special operations mission in the North Atlantic. The story is a lively one, and demonstrates yet again that what truly distinguishes Reeman is his ability to weave an engrossing tale of naval combat. This one is worth a read. |
