“It takes a special sort of courage to serve in midget submarines, and Lieutenant David Seaton, commanding officer of XE16, needs no reminding of the perils involved.  Already at 26 a seasonal veteran of several highly successful operations, he, like many of his companions, has come to believe that each one could have been his last.
The little X-craft with their four-man crews have been used mainly against heavy enemy surface units and important harbour installations, but in 1944, with the Allies poised for an invasion through France, a new and more hazardous role is given to Seaton’s flotilla.
High drama, strong characterization and authentic settings make Surface with Daring a magnificent addition to Douglas Reeman’s list of bestselling sea stories.”
