Genre: Thriller
Submariner
Malta, 1942. Lieutenant Mike Nicholson commands Ursa, one of the 10th Submarine Flotilla’s boats who, in their time, destroyed more than a million tons of war supplies shipped from Italian ports to Rommel’s Afrika Korps in the Western Desert. German Intelligence has recently warned Berlin that unless drastic measures are undertaken, the Mediterranean and Middle East will be lost to them.But Ursa is a lucky submarine, and Mike is the flotilla’s top scorer. He also has problems of a more personal nature: before leaving England about two years ago he was heavily involved in an affair with the wife of another submariner, who’s now bringing his own new U-class boat, Unsung, to the flotilla…
Not Thinking of Death
World War Two is almost upon them. But first the submariners must face another danger… ‘It is regretted that hope of saving lives… must be abandoned.’
Admiralty signal to C-in-C Plymouth, 1610 hrs on 3 June 1939
As the shadow of Nazism descends on Europe, Britain at last begins to prepare her defences. Trials start for a new class of submarine in the mouth of the Clyde.
Royal Navy submariner Rufus Chalk, on board as an observer, has misgivings. There are technical problems, small enough in themselves but together possibly dangerous.
On this first dive in the open sea, with numerous observers on board, if there were an accident the precious air supply would last only half as long as normal…
Love For An Enemy
In wartime Egypt, can a British submarine commander trust his Italian lover?
1941: The teeming city of Alexandria is almost under siege by the Afrika Korps. A vortex of ancient loves and murderous intrigues, Alexandria is the Royal Navy’s major Eastern Mediterranean base. But Italian frogmen and their so-called ‘human torpedoes’ are posing a lethal threat to British warships.
Hardly the time or place for a British submarine commander to fall in love; especially as the girl in question is half-Italian, and Alexandria’s large Italian population is only too eager to welcome Rommel and his troops into town. Interspersed with scenes of naval action described in gripping and authentic detail – and seen through Italian as much as British eyes – the human drama unfolds, its actors ever aware of the mounting threat of a German breakthrough.
Band of Brothers
It is early autumn 1943 and a German U-boat supply ship is sailing under heavy escort from Le Havre to the Atlantic. A mixed force of torpedo boats from Allied Coastal Forces is ordered to intercept and sink her.
Navigator Ben Quarry has other worries. His girlfriend, Rosie, is set on returning to occupied France as an SOE agent. His former mistress, now the wife of his CO, Bob Stack, has embarked on an affair with another officer. Ben’s got to tell him.
But in the heat of battle, survival is everything…
