'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)
8 y separately published work icon Abandon Ship! J. E. Macdonnell , Sydney : Horwitz , 1963 Z1259204 1963 single work novel war literature adventure 'There were only seconds left, yet in that time Captain Bentley's mind encompassed several possibilities. The torpedo might be a dud. there might not have been time for the vanes of the firing pistol to screw right back against the detonator. The torpedo could have been dropped at too acute an angle, it might not regain the correct depth in time. The target ship might slip its doom. The possibilities were abruptly and irrevocably negatived in a gigantic WHAM of sound. 'Wind Rode' reeled as if she had been clubbed...8 Liberty ships. Though not large, the convoy was invaluable - and Captain Peter Bentley's five Fleet destroyers were going to have to fight to the death to protect these merchantmen from the savage Jap attack...' - From frontmatter and back cover
