About the Author:

Douglas Reeman did convoy duty in the Navy in the Atlantic, the Arctic, and the North Sea. He has written over thirty novels under his own name and more than twenty bestselling historical novels featuring Richard Bolitho under the pseudonym Alexander Kent.

From AudioFile:

Here's a nicely told saga of the last British battlecruiser, the HMS RELIANT, as she goes about her final tasks in WWII. With more than 12 million copies of his books in print under his own name and that of Alexander Kent, Reeman knows how to tell a terse, technically accurate, somewhat predictable war story. Reader David Rintoul continues Chivers's tradition of engaging, highly competent British actors; he makes each character come alive with intonation alone.
