Five of these eight short stories portraying United States Navy men during World War II, involve the Destroyer Boon. Here is all the excitement that C. S. Forester fans have come to expect; from his other works (which include: African Queen and the Hornblower series, among others); with a brilliant backdrop provided by the author's special love of the sea and his impressive knowledge of seamanship and advanced naval warfare. The men in these stories display courage and disipline amid great danger and the ever - present threat of death.

• The Man in the Yellow Raft
• Triumph of the Boon
• The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck
• Dr. Blanke's First Command
• Counterpunch
• U.S.S. Cornucopia
