Although he attended fleet reviews and explored modern warships and dockyards with his father, he found that the great days of square riggers and battles at close quarters captured his imagination. H.M.S. \u003ci\u003eVictory\u003c\/i\u003e, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, was always high on his list of regular visits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe served in the Royal Navy as a young man, and saw action in the Battle of the Atlantic and other major theatres of war, but his first love of the great days of sail remained unshaken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow firmly established as a leading writer of authentic sea stories, he was the author of twenty-eight acclaimed books featuring Richard Bolitho.  Under his own name, Douglas Reeman, and in the course of a career spanning forty-five years, he wrote over thirty novels and two non-fiction books.  He died in January 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46551887446177,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780099594086","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780099594086.jpg?v=1781699259","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/beyond-the-reef-paperback-by-alexander-kent","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
