7y The Surgeon Sydney : Horwitz , 1959 Z1253260 1959 single work novel war literature adventure From back cover: 'Commander Peter Bentley was lord of Wind Rode, his was the responsibility for her two hundred men. There were many gunners on the ship, many asdic-operators, many engineers; but there was only one surgeon, Dr Landis reminded himself. Was the captain's responsibility more significant than holding a man's life literally in your fingers? He would see. So would they.' Torpederet Glostrup : Winther , 1970

8y The Coxswain London Melbourne : Horwitz , 1960 Z1257321 1960 single work novel war literature adventure In every battle Wind Rode had come out on top. Weapons, whether aircraft cannon or submarine torpedo or destroyer guns, were aimed and fired by men. The destroyer's men had proved superior in the handling of theirs. Now the train of successes had been broken. They had six big guns and multiplicity of other weapons: they should have got those Jap aircraft. As it was a lucky shot from the Oerlikon saved them from disaster. It was not seamanship or training: simply a problem of morale. For the coxswain. - Publisher's blurb, back cover Faren på havet Glostrup : Winther , 1970

10y The Deserter Sydney : Horwitz , 1965 Z1260435 1965 single work novel war literature adventure Aboard destroyer Wind Rode the five men had a mess of their own. This was surprising. Surprising also was the fact that none of the ship's company resented the five's privileged seclusion. They were men apart in more ways than one and the dangers they faced were not dangers known to men who fought on the surface of the ocean. They were frogmen, chosen to carry a load of destruction through their alien, underwater world to the heart of the Japanese defences at Halmahera. The success of an invasion depended on their courage. - back cover Frygt Copenhagen : Winther , 1970

But Captain Bentley and his first-lieutenant, Bob Randall, were more than the organisers of a smoothly working destroyer team. Thet were close friends. Only one thing could come between them to destroy that - and now it had come. The love of a woman.' - back cover Konflikt om bord Glostrup : Winther , 1971

52y The Buffer Sydney : Horwitz , 1963 Z1260124 1963 single work novel war literature adventure "Hooky" Walker...or to give him his rightful name, Chief Petty-Officer William Walker of the destroyer Windrode, was a man's man; you would be fortunate to have him as a friend. He was a man, and so not perfect. A friend's sister was safe with him but this moral and biological restriction did not extend to all sisters. In port he drank a good deal. Sometimes, but not often, he made mistakes. But, in this pattern, there were two staunch, straight strands: though not overtly religious, he did not ever blaspheme; and to his shipmates and his captain he was unimpeachably loyal. These traits caused him to risk his life often...and now he was faced with the biggest crisis of his life... - back cover (Horwitz, 1963) Sydney : Horwitz , 1963

'They craved action! The crew of the Utmost felt the urge for action - in a ship with one gun and a short-range pom-pom.
"You're responsible," his first-lieutenant told the captain, Dutchy Holland. "You've made these men what they are. You toughened them. They're restless now."
Neither officer knew that Utmost was to see action soon...against a fast, heavily-gunned jap destryer on a vital mission!' - back cover (1964)

65y Close and Investigate Sydney : Horwitz , 1965 Z1260394 1965 single work novel war literature adventure 'Circe was his ship, his first commission, and those were his men. Lieutenant-Commander Jim Brady saw red, an animal surge of rage and hate, and he made his decision. They came steaming out of the rain and the carrier loomed abruptly with a mouth-drying heart-stopping fear. The three huge turrets on her fo'c'sle were almost on bearing, he saw the six thick barrels depressing and knew that the range was point blank.' - back cover (1965) Sydney : Horwitz , 1965

However, the Allied advance had cut off these killers of the deep from their fuel supplies. Their range was over-extended; their crews were tired; they were sustaining heavy losses at the hands of Allied destroyers. The the Imperial Japanese Navy enlisted the help of a truly brilliant engineer. They established under-water fuel supplies in the lagoon of Mantigui Island. Now they were potent once more - Allied shipping losses increased alarmingly! Dutchy Holland was given the job. His mission, to get H.M.A.S. Jackal into this hornet's nest and destroy the fuel tanks. It was a mission from which Dutchy entertained scant hope of returning...' - back cover (1970). Sydney : Horwitz , 1970
