By the author of On the beach and No Highway, is one of the most exciting novels ever written-a story of four men who carry out a private and terrible mission of vengeance

in the maelstrom of war.

"Of all the narratives of war operations this, reviewer has read, the present work is far and away-Méablest and most thrilling... It is  grim story, barbarous and inhuman from every angle, and of ourse, itis a splendird sea story, too, which gives it color and romance beyond any that could happen on land"ーNew York?erald Tribune hing
