I am now halfway through this book, and I decided to stop reading it -- which is a really rare thing for me to do. Other reviews here confirmed me in this decision.This book does not have much of a plot; after a short intro, the British Grand Fleet goes straight into battle with the Kaiser's High Seas Fleet. If you are interested in that, I suggest you read the Wikipedia page on the battle of Jütland instead which is much better organized and at least has some maps. And it's more interesting to read, too. That should make you think twice about considering to read this book.The book tells the story of that battle using three protagonists on three different ships; they all come from the same British family with great naval traditions, one a lowly sub-lieutenant, one a lieutenant who worked his way up to navigator of one of the battle cruisers, one a full captain of a battleship. That sub-lieutenant being transfered from a battleship to an elderly destroyer just prior to the battle is about all there is to a plot beyond the battle, the squadrons steaming (literally) back and forth and duking it out with the enemy. And as if trying to follow the battle without a map wasn't hard enough, the author decided to jump ship all the time, not even bothering to TELL the reader what ship with which of his protagonists the events take place right now. If you are anything like me, after a while you don't bother anymore; it doesn't make that much difference anyway. And so the story drags on for page upon page; you just wish it would end soon so the agony is over. I decided to shortcut this by finishing about halfway through the book.I do like naval stories, no matter what time and era they take place. I do like gory technical details about the ships and the weapons and the tactics and whatnot. I do like stories about military microcosms (I love W.E.B. Griffin's books, Adam Hardy's Fox books and many more), but there was not even a semblance of any of this here. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Just shells going "boom" and ships getting blown up. No character development (if there was any, it was lost on me), no plot, the battle a confused jumble.This book was not fun to read for me. I cannot recommend it.
