5.0 out of 5 stars Classic 1958 Pattinson Novel, September 24, 2005
By 
James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Silent Voyage (Hardcover)
James Pattinson books vary drastically in quality and there are not many better than his classic 1958 novel The Silent Voyage. In The Silent Voyage it is a few years after the end of World War II and Brett Manning is sent by his uncle to Archangel, Russia where he is to liaise with timber suppliers. The Silver Tassie, the boat he is travelling on is cut in half by a speeding Russian ship in a dense fog and only Manning and another Englishman named Grill manage to board the Russian ship before it speeds away. Although they are treated well onboard the Russian ship it soon becomes apparent they will never be aloud to leave and are nothing more than prisoners who know too much and will spend the rest of their days in a Russian jail as the rest of the world has already classified them as dead men lost at sea with the rest of the crew of the Silver Tassie.

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. High quality Pattinson novels worth your time and money are Skeleton Island, The Time of Your Life, Blind Date, The Murmansk Assignment, Obituary for Howard Grey, Crane, The Animal Gang, The Spoilers, The Golden Reef and Life Preserver.
