Alistair Maclean has an unmistakable and unrivalled skill in writing about the sea and it’s power, and about the men and women who sail it and fight and die in it.
His distinctive voice was evident from his very first prize-winning story, ‘The Dileas’, and has been heard time and again in his international career as the author of such bestsellers as H.M.S. Ulysses and San Andreas.
Lonely Sea spans his entire career and collects together all his stories of the sea, beginning with ‘The Dileas’ and ending with two new stories published here for the very first time.
