    About this ebook

    It's 1943, and the seas are haunted by Hitler's deadly U-boats and cruisers. After the mysterious death of the Reliant's last captain, Guy Sherbrooke is given command of the legendary battlecruiser. A symbol of everything the Royal Navy stands for, the battlecruiser boasts the speed of a destroyer and the firepower of a battleship.

      Many readers will be unaware that, a couple of decades ago, the RYA cruising syllabus still specified the ability to whip a rope’s end in a seamanlike manner. I’m sad to report that this quietly disappeared somewhere around 2003. On the whole, the sy

      This was not the book I was expecting. From the blurb, I thought "Battlecruiser" would be filled with action and drama. Instead, the plot was slow and the characters dull. The action and battles, when they did take place, were exciting but, in my opinion, there was too much unnecessary focus on the characters whom I found extremely dreary and annoying. Very disappointed!
