Now this book was an excellent narrative. I found myself drawn into the book very quickly, as I am a great lover of history, and this sort of tale. The plot of having a Polish sub with no option but to sail into a potentially dangerous yard? Fascinating. Either be trapped at sea or trapped in port, which is the lesser evil? Well, they took to the port. From there, as you no doubt guessed from the provided book description, the Nazis make their move to steal or destroy her.I marked the book as four stars, as I was drawn into the plot itself. Unfortunately, the editing on the novel is rather poorly done, which was very disappointing, because it detracted from my ability to stay engrossed in my reading. Nothing screws up a good reading buzz like having to stop and think about grammar lessons from high school after you stumble over an editing error. That was my biggest gripe about this novel. Second gripe: cliches. Cliches everywhere. There were so many stereotypes played into this book that I laughed a few times mid-sentence, it was so bad.Overall: read it. It was only a buck, and hey. It's not a bad yarn. But don't expect to come back and read it a second time, because I can promise you that you won't make it through a second time.
