Collection of riveting tales of the sea including the story that launched his writing career, the account of the epic battle to sink the German battle ship, Bismarck, and two new stories collected here for the first time.
THE MASTER STORYTELLER IN HIS ELEMENTâ¦
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, âThe Dileasâ, 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 MacLeanâs career started, with âThe Dileasâ, 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.
This reissue includes two new stories, âThe Good Samaritanâ and âThe Black Stormâ, which bear all the classic hallmarks of MacLeanâs finest writing and are published here for the very first time.
