Story
=====
Commander Graham Martineau was awarded the Victoria Cross for pressing home an attack against impossible odds. Few survived, and the crimson ribbon remains a haunting symbol of the sacrifice of ship and men. The Captain of the destroyer, HMS Hakka, must once again call from ordinary seamen the ultimate in courage.
Now, as captain of the crack Tribal Class destroyer, HMS Hakka, Martineau must once again call from ordinary seamen the ultimate in courage, and prepare to defend to the death vital convoys to Russia. There is no hiding place in these bitter Arctic seas, where a pitiless enemy awaits a fatal rendezvous.
About The Author
Douglas Reeman, acclaimed as "the master of the modern sea story," was born in Thames Ditton, Surrey, England in 1924. With the outbreak of World War Two, and despite belonging to an army family, he joined the Royal Navy without hesitation at the age of sixteen. He saw service in the North Sea and Arctic, and the Atlantic and Mediterranean campaigns, beginning as a midshipman in destroyers and transferring later to motor torpedo boats, where he was twice mentioned in dispatches.
Following the war, he held a variety of jobs, including delivering yachts, selling marine engines, and walking the beat in London's East End as a uniformed policeman and in the plain-clothes Criminal Investigation Department. He returned to active service during the Korean War, and remained a naval reservist while working as a children's welfare officer for the London County Council, retaining that close contact with the navy which was to prove so invaluable.
Ten years later, having established himself as one of the foremost modern sea-story writers of his time, Douglas returned to an earlier love, the ships and men of Nelson's day, and embarked on a new and challenging phase: a series of novels featuring one man and spanning that splendid, stirring era. For this series he chose the pseudonym Alexander Kent, the name of a childhood friend and fellow naval officer who was killed in the early years of the war. In June of 1968, To Glory We Steer was published, and its solitary, sensitive, compassionate hero, Richard Bolitho, was introduced to an ever growing readership.
Today the exploits of Richard Bolitho are featured in twenty-three novels, the lives and deaths of other men, equally heroic, in thirty-four Reeman novels.
