A collection of riveting tales of the sea including the story that
launched his writing career and the account of the epic battle to sink
the German battle ship, Bismarck.
THE MASTER STORYTELLER IN HIS ELEMENT...
Alistair MacLean has an unmistakable and unrivalled skill in writing
about the sea and its power and about the men and women who sail it, and
who fight and die in it.
His distinctive voice was evident from his very first prize-winning
story, 'The Dileas', and has been heard time and again in his
international career as the author of such bestsellers as H.M.S.
Ulysses and San Andreas.
The Lonely Sea starts where MacLean's career started, with 'The
Dileas', and collects together his stories of the sea. Here is a
treasury of vintage MacLean, compelling and brilliant, where the master
storyteller is in his element.
