5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding WWII Submarine Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2009
Verified Purchase
Steven Wilson is a formidably gifted writer and "Voyage of the Gray Wolves" is an exciting, compelling book. Few books I've read in recent years satisfied me as much as this one. Essentially, it is the tale of two seafaring giants, one a German U-Boat commander and the other a British destroyer captain. They eventually meet in the middle of the North Atlantic. The plot is gripping and full of surprises. The characters are wonderfully developed. Wilson's descriptions of both land and sea are so realistic that you easily feel you are on scene. This is a great sea story, a great World War II story and a great all-round action-packed read. Wilson is an artist and this book is a masterpiece.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for the plane.

The book is an OK read. The plot and characters are OK, nothing great, but for seven bucks you can read it and leave it on the plane. I'll give mine to charity since I'll read other books rather than this one twice.

This novel is pretty lightweight. No deep plot development, characters are so-so and it leaves you feeling like you've spent a few hours that could have been used for something better- in spite of the endorsements by other authors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the time, and be warned, you may need to read it in one sitting

Enjoyable read, naval war story from WWII -- Well written, well researched and well done

This book is a page turner, it grabs you and won’t let you go. Action, suspense and rooting for the underdog.

Not only a story about the German Navy and German submarines, it’s also a story about decent men struggling with indecent political hacks.

My favorite book by Steven Wilson. This is the first book of a trilogy (Between the Hunters and the Hunted and Armada). I really enjoyed this WWII Uboat book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable tale - steep in nautical thrills!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010
Steven Wilson has provided us with a most enjoyable (fictional) account of a German submarine at the end of World War II. The premise of the book is that the Germans have developed a new u-boat and have rockets that they can launch from the boat to destroy targets without using their (now depleted) air force.

The book is well written, and most enjoyable. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it felt that it took a little while to get into the story. Once we really got into the naval action, however, the book is a fact paced roller coaster ride, turning from actions on the u-boats to actions of the SS to actions onboard British naval destroyers.

Wilson has written a great work of fiction, and one well worth reading if you have any interest in nautical (and especially submarine) thrillers.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put this page-turner down!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2005
Steven Wilson's "Voyage of the Gray Wolves" grabs you from the first page and does not let you go.

So often, writers are forgiven for bad writing if their story is engaging. Their formulaic and predictable endings are tolerated simply because they write well.

"Voyage of the Gray Wolves" is exceptionally well-written, the story held my interest from beginning to end, and the book actually ends well!

Wilson introduces the reader to characters with souls and personalities. These characters interact with tension, humor, and most importantly, intelligence. The story itself, like its backdrop, the sea, is strong. As the story builds, so does the tension. That tension, as the tale winds down, recedes like an ebb tide... For the first time since I finished "Empire Falls," I did not feel like I was cheated by the way the book ended.

One important note: I do not read military history as a rule, but the book had been recommended to me by a friend I trust. I really didn't have any interest in the subject matter but found myself fascinated with the world of U-boats. I saw U-571 when it came out and was bored to tears. In this book, I was amazed to learn so many interesting facts and trivia about the era, the technology, and a slice of history.

One thing that really surprised me, and I won't reveal the plot twists I am referring to, was how relevant to today's current events this story is. Along these lines, the author does a WONDERFUL job of humanizing the "enemy." Wilson gives you no choice but to form a relationship with the Kreigsmarine's Kern and his U-boat crew, and the British Navy's Land and Hardy.

If you're looking for a book that will hold your interest, no matter what your interests are, I recommend this book highly. My new favorite exclamation, which I hope Mr. Wilson will not mind me appropriating, is "Pennants to Punjabi!"

Cheers,

Adrienne DeArmas
