Román z prostředí válečného námořnictva byl inspirovaný skutečnou událostí z bitvy u Narviku v roce 1940. Román vypráví o námořních operacích britského a německého loďstva na severu Norska mezi 8. a 13. dubnem 1940. Kruté podmínky v Severním moři, popisy akcí i pocity lidí jsou líčeny velice sugestivně a věrohodně.
