A difficult and trying mission A difficult and trying mission, the book as well as the plot. It is a testament to the story writing that I could maintain sufficient interest to finish this book. It is an interesting plot but for an American reader it is a tough sloth. The dialog is very difficult to follow with slang and unfamiliar terminology.
Don Brenner –
They keep going on and on. Another great read. The story just keeps going with another exciting adventure for Donald Cameron. This one shows how he is developing into a top rate officer.
James Martin –
Best of 5! Having done some binge reading, this Storm of War is the most polished yet and has a feel of authenticity about it. Nice play of the antagonists who make up in the end, boys own adventures en route and Cameron pulls it off once again. Enjoyable breakfast reading.

Great Book I found this book riveting and very informative. It showed the bravery of the crews on the Malta convoys, and all convoys.

A REAL THRILLER Over the years I have forgotten just how bloody and terrible the Second World War really was. This story gave me a vivid reminder of how it was for those at sea.

A Great War ship story The trials of decision are constant, attacks rain death. But at last they survive to reach Malta. Enjoy every page!

Not McCutchen's best. Not Mr. MeTuchen's best book by far, but still a different kind of story from what he usually writes. I've never heard of a torpedo getting stuck in a rudder, and so this book was of a different tone. Not McCutchen's best.
