Kruté podmínky v Severním moři, popisy akcí i pocity lidí jsou líčeny velice sugestivně a věrohodně.

The Torch Bearers brims with Fullerton's usual historical and technical accuracy, and is another action-packed adventure for Everard during the height of WWII naval warfare.
Again, Fullerton offers a thrilling look at the perils of WWII naval warfare through the service of Nicholas Everard.
