Industry Reviews
"The figure of the captain is large and a trifle unlikely, the love angle a complete misfortune; but the constant play and elaboration of nautical procedure should make a sailor's delight."
Young
"There is plenty of action. But there is also an unusual character study....Mr. Forester gives you both the rottenness and the heroism in as gripping and realistic a sea tale as you are likely to run across in a year's reading."
Young
"Mr. Forester has followed 'The Gun' and 'The General' with another book that proves him a narrative craftsman in his own right. If, indeed, he alters the record a bit now and then, nobody but the nasty neat will care. His main facts are sound, and it is something beyond historical truth that he is after."
Young
