Review: Theme recycled yet again

The plot elements of this story crop up all over the place, and this time they just happen to do so in an SF setting. They are just as familiar in stories set in a sailing frigates, a WW2 cruiser and (less obviously) in a tale of an English liaison officer with the Greek resistance during WW2. The thing that made this version worth its purchase price was that it is told by a competent story teller in easy reading English.  I guess there are only so many possible stories: this version of this story is okay as recreational reading but don't expect it to raise your pulse rate.
