Dust On The Sea – Douglas Reeman

Description

Dust on the Sea by Douglas Reeman is the fourth novel in the gripping Blackwood Family saga, chronicling 150 years of a distinguished seafaring lineage. Set in 1943 during World War II, the story follows Captain Mike Blackwood, a Royal Marine Commando hardened by the brutal campaign in Burma. Facing the chaos and danger of the Sicilian landings, Mike struggles with self-doubt and the weight of his family’s proud maritime tradition while discovering the leadership and courage required to inspire his men under fire.

Reeman combines historical authenticity with intense action and vivid characterisation, immersing readers in the courage, fear, and camaraderie of wartime combat. The novel captures the perils of amphibious operations, the tension of life-and-death decisions, and the personal growth of a man confronting both external enemies and internal conflict. As part of the Blackwood series, Dust on the Sea continues the family’s saga of honour, sacrifice, and resilience across generations.

This book is ideal for readers of historical naval fiction, military adventure, and multi-generational family sagas.
