Sobre este artículo
London: Collins, 1955. First edition, first printing. Published by Collins in London, 1956. This is a fine copy. The dust wrapper, gloomily illustrated by John Rose, has only slight wear at the corners and has not been price clipped, showing the original 12s. 6d. net price. The boards, in the publishers red buckram, are bright and clean, as is the gilt titling to the spine. The text blocks are clean throughout and free from foxing. There is one small neat previous owner's inscription to the preliminary. Overall, this is a fine copy of the author's first title. MacLean's experiences in the Royal Navy during World War II provided the background and the Arctic convoys to Murmansk provided the basis for the story, which was written at a publisher's request after he'd won a short-story competition the previous year. Some editions carry a prefatory note disavowing any connection between the fictional cruiser HMS Ulysses and the U-class destroyer of the same name.
