Title: H.M.S. Ulysses
Author: Alistair MacLean
Cover artist: Robert Schulz
Best things about this cover:
- Ulysses decides he is tired of taking shit from the Harpies
- Awesomely unattributed blurb! - "Certainly the best novel of World War II at sea ... said this guy I heard mumbling to himself in the bookstore once."
- Robert Schulz is a great, great cover artist - one of the five best that ever lived, IMOO. His stuff is always very dramatic and naturalistic. We'll see a lot more from him.

That really is a striking, kinetic cover..
The Wiki says that HMS Ulysses "is now considered a classic of naval fiction." The mumbling guy in the bookstore must have been a real tastemaker.
