War amid ice and storm,
By
This review is from: Rendezvous, South Atlantic (Hardcover)
The title says 'south Atlantic,' but for much of the early part of the story, the battered merchant cruiser 'Benbecula' is tossing about in the icy *north* Atlantic, battling not just Nazi U-boats and commerce raiders, but the unforgiving elements as well. In another one of his classic war-at-sea stories, Douglas Reeman builds toward a climactic (as opposed to climatic) confrontation that really draws the reader in.Reeman's characters in 'Rendezvous - South Atlantic,' as is frequently the case in his writings, are sometimes hard to distinguish from men and women you've met in his earlier novels. But as is also common in his work, the star of this book is really the ship herself. 'Benbecula' stands apart from much of Reeman's other creations, and the battle in which she finds herself will be one you won't forget. I've read nearly a dozen Reeman titles and enjoyed nearly all of them. But this is one of two or three that really stands out for me.
