All the Drowning Seas is a novel that combines personal family drama and gripping naval action to compelling effect,revealing Britain's premier sea novelist at the top of his form.The 6th novel in the Everard series,which started
with Nick as a somewhat bloody-minded midshipman at Jutland in 1916,and in the most recent story - Last Lift from Crete -saw him win his fourth stripe and a bar to his DSO in the Mediterranean in 1941.
Although fictional,each story's setting is historically and technically accurate.
