FOUR ACTION-PACKED WORLD WAR TWO MERCHANT NAVY ADVENTURES — WRITTEN BY A VETERAN WHO SAILED THOSE SEAS.
‘There is the tang of the sea and plenty of excitement.’ Birmingham Mail
‘Bears the stamp of authenticity.’ Nottingham Evening Post
From the frozen Arctic to the U-boat–infested Atlantic and the chaos of D-Day, these four unforgettable thrillers tell the stories of the lifeline convoys that kept Britain fighting — and the courage of ordinary sailors onboard who were thrust into extraordinary danger.
THIS BOX SET INCLUDES:
SOLDIER, SAIL NORTH A battered merchant ship braves U-boats, bombers and Arctic storms on the perilous Murmansk run.
ON DESPERATE SEAS January 1943. A tanker bound for Archangel carries volatile cargo — and a traitor in its midst.
OPERATION ZENITH In the South Atlantic, German agents plot to seize a British liner for a propaganda coup.
ACROSS THE NARROW SEAS June 1944. A humble coaster carries sappers into the firestorm of D-Day and beyond.
Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean, Nicholas Monsarrat, Douglas Reeman, Alexander Fullerton, Philip McCutchan and C.S. Forester.
