Description

Submarine coxswain Ben Grant has a medal for his exploits in Norwegian waters earlier in the war, but this does not help him face operations in a far different theatre - the Mediterranean - or endear him to his colleagues.Strained and nerve-racked, he joins the submarine Avon en route to Torbruk in the summer of 1942.But at Malta events come to a head and he is asked to volunteer for Special Submarine Operations,a secret subversive unit.The target is occupied Greece, the mission dangerous - and the only flaw in the plan is his former skipper,Half-Shackle. In this new Ben Grant saga, Eric Collenette gives another story from the war at sea and in his taut, straightforward prose he vividly recreates those tense days of submarine warfare.
