The Great Patriotic War—at sea. Here they fight both the enemy and the merciless elements. Here it’s harder and more dangerous than on land… And it’s important to remember one thing: each hero of the Northern Fleet is remembered and awaited ashore. This is “Ocean Patrol.” The first novel by Valentin Pikul. One of the best military sagas of the twentieth century.
The first book of the novel “Ocean Patrol” — “The Askoldovtsy” — is dedicated to the events of the Great Patriotic War on the Northern theater of military operations. The author focuses on the heroic deeds of the sailors of the Northern Fleet, the actions of intelligence officers in the enemy’s rear. It is also a story about those who love and await the sailors on shore.
