– Det er mange forfattere innen thrillersjangeren, Alistar Maclean er virkelig en av de største.HMS Ulysses handler om en konvoy som går til Murmansk under andre verdenskrig, der fokuset legges på frigatten Ulysses. MacLean forteller på nydelig vis om heltemot og lidelser, men det er spenningen som gjør dette til en drivende god fortelling. Historien er langt fra rosenrød, handlingen er både hard og brutal, og på mange måter emosjonell å lese. Likevel er denne boken et mesterverk innen thrillersjangeren, der skildringer om temperaturer under frysepunktet, flyangrep og overflateskip, viser en frykt og redsel for å overleve. Denne boken anbefales sterkt, en sterk og voldsom leseopplevelse!

Constant patrols have pushed the crew of the HMS Ulysses beyond the limits of endurance. And now they must be put to sea again, to escort a vital supply convoy heading for Murmansk.
As they head deep into the frozen waters they are faced not only with the fierce arctic weather, but a swarm of airborne attacks, German ships, then the feared U-boats, all hellbent on destroying the convoy.
With each day threatening another sudden attack, and increasing hardships aboard the frozen ship, Ulysses suffers greater damage trying to protect the other vessels. And soon the journey becomes a tense and deadly game of cat and mouse between the crippled cruiser and her silent pursuers.
