A Ship Must Die - Douglas Reeman

A Ship Must Die by Douglas Reeman, a wartime naval novel following HMS Andromeda and her captain Richard Blake as they are sent to hunt down a German commerce raider in the Indian Ocean during January 1944.

This is a hardback edition with dust jacket, published in 1979 by Book Club Associates by arrangement with Hutchinson & Co Ltd, despite the paperback format noted in the catalogue record. The jacket features a cover illustration by Chris Mayger showing a cruiser under fire, with matching artwork continued on the spine and back cover.

The dust jacket shows notable wear, with chipping and small losses at the top corners and along the spine ends, plus some rubbing to the edges. The spine panel has a degree of fading. Internally, the pages appear clean and the text is clear, printed on white paper. The book presents as a well-used but complete copy.
