It has everything needed to become a top seller. "Here is a tale of the Flavia, a motor-drive.., sleek passenger liner bound for New York from Liverpool. The scene is set on the opening day of World War Il. Within a few hours a German submarine fired a torpedo into the Flavia and the ship began one of the strangest deaths ever described. "The excitement of the ensuing chapters is almost unbearable and anyone-anyone will have difficulty putting the book down. I couldn't! Snappy writing about humanity, the sea and ships is combined here with immensely vivid description, and James Macgregor has produced a sea classic. This one, unlike some others, has to be read by everyone who enjoys reality in their fiction. - Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.”
