HMS Ulysses (novel)
HMS Ulysses is the debut novel by Scottish author Alistair MacLean. Originally published in 1955, it was also released by Fontana Books in 1960. MacLean's experiences in the Royal Navy during the Second World War provided the background and the Arctic convoys to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk provided the basis for the story, which was written at a publisher's request after he had won a short-story competition the previous year. Some editions carry a prefatory note disavowing any connection between the fictional cruiser HMS Ulysses and the U-class destroyer of the same name. In 1977 Maclean called it the book "dearest to my heart because it is true".
