It is no coincidence that many of Alistair MacLean's most successful novels were sea stories. In 1941, he was called up after volunteering for the Royal Navy and served as Ordinary Seaman, Able Seaman, and Leading Torpedo Operator. For the majority of his service, he was on HMS Royalist, a modified Dido-class light cruiser, seeing action in the Arctic, and operations against the German battleship Tirpitz. The ship then deployed to the Mediterranean taking part in Operation Dragoon the invasion of the South of France and later in operations against German occupied Greek Islands in the Aegean. After which MacLean and Royalist were deployed to the Indian Ocean and operations against the Japanese in Malaya, Burma, and Sumatra.

His wartime experiences coupled with exceptional literary skill resulted in the runaway success of his first novel HMS Ulysses (1955) followed by The Guns of Navarone (1957) and South by Java Head (1958). These three blockbusters cemented his position as one of the most successful and highly paid authors of the era.

While not a whole life biography, Mark Simmon’s book provides a fascinating insight into Maclean’s war service and subsequent works, which deserve enduring popularity.

Alistair MacLean 的许多成功小说都与海上故事有关并不奇怪。1941年，他在志愿加入皇家海军后被征召入伍，并在普通水手、高级水手和首席鱼雷操作员等职位服役。在他的大部分服役期间，他都在 HMS Royalist 上服务，这是一艘经过改装的 Dido 级轻巡洋舰，在北极作战，并对德国战列舰“提尔皮茨”号进行了战斗行动。该船随后前往地中海，参加了 Operation Dragoon 进攻法国南部的登陆行动，后来在爱琴海中对德国占领希腊岛屿的作战中继续服役。之后，MacLean 和 HMS Royalist 开赴印度洋，在马来西亚、缅甸和苏门答腊岛对日本进行作战。 他的战时经历与非凡的文学才能相结合，导致了他的第一部小说《Ulysses号》（1955年）取得了巨大的成功，接着是《Navarone大炮》（1957年）和《以爪哇头向南》（1958年）。这三部作品巩固了他作为那个时代最成功且报酬最高的作者之一的地位。 尽管这并非一部完整的生活传记，但马克·西蒙的这本书为 MacLean 的战争服务及其后续作品提供了令人感兴趣的见解，这些作品值得长期受欢迎。
