- Douglas Edward Reeman (born 15 October 1924, Thames Ditton) is a British author who has written many historical fiction books on the Royal Navy, mainly set during either World War II or the Napoleonic Wars.
Reeman joined the Royal Navy in 1940, at the age of 16, and served during World War II and the Korean War. He eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant. In addition to being an author, Reeman has also taught the art of navigation for yachting and served as a technical advisor for films. Douglas married author Kimberley Jordan Reeman in 1985.
Reeman's debut novel, A Prayer for the Ship was published in 1958. His pseudonym Alexander Kent was the name of a friend and naval officer who died during the second world war.[1] Reeman is most famous for his series of Napoleonic Naval Stories, whose central character is Richard Bolitho, and, later, his nephew, Adam. He also wrote a series of novels about several generations of the Blackwood family who served in the Royal Marines from the 1850s to the 1970s, and a non-fiction account of his World War II experiences, D-Day: A Personal Reminiscence (1984). - Nota de desambiguació

All in all, the Silent Deep is a solid enough novel, even if it makes out the Chinese as “baddies”. But this is about writing not certain choices the author makes. And the author knows how to produce a good plot, characters and all. So, if you like the setting of sea and submarines, if you dig the navy and life on a ship, ahem.. boat, then give this a try.… (més)
