Between the Hunters and the Hunted

The Nazis have built the mightiest war ship on the planet and on its maiden voyage its mission is to sink the ship that is taking Churchill to Canada to meet Roosevelt. From this premise emerges one of the best sea stories I've read in a long time. The author, with his authoritative knowledge of the sea, ships and the war, spins a yarn that is believeable, gripping and stirring. I haven't read Wilson's earlier book, but you can bet I will. As for this book, it's in the first rank of military sea tales, for my money.

This book has one of those stories that take history for a ride with alternate imaginary, historic events and possible endings. Author Steven Wilson does a great job of selling this story line to the reader in his newest novel called "Between The Hunters And The Hunted." It is a thriller with lots of action but it is also has a cerebral plot that was well thought out. The author makes his story very plausible and believable and more importantly, he makes it entertaining. This is the kind of tale that would make a good action movie. For lovers of naval adventures and submarines at war this book has all you could ask for. The author does a first rate job with his characters and the dialogs. This is the kind of book that you will not want to put down until you have read the last page. Given MWSA's highest book rating - FIVE STARS!

This is a great, exciting, interesting novel by Mr. Wilson who clearly did his research both into historical facts and the complexities of a sea battle. I recommend this to all who are prepared to go non-stop once they read the first page.

After reading Steven Wilson's "Voyage of the Gray Wolves," I purchased "Between the Hunters and the Hunted." As with "Voyage," I found "Hunters and Hunted" to be well-researched and very entertaining; however, Mr. Wilson's writing skills have improved significantly with this novel making it a very readable book. I commend this novel to anyone with and interest in WWII. I am looking forward with considerable anticipation to the incarnation of the British destroyer Firedancer and her captain and crew!

I had a chance to read this book as it came out and it held my interest from the beginning. It has a lot of characters from the author's first book, Voyage of the Gray Wolves, but the setting is different. I highly recommend it.
