  1. 1

    Dramatic, meticulously researched novel of a uniquely fascinating sea battle - Jutland, 1916. In the grey windswept North Sea, Sir John Jellicoe sails with his battle squadrons out of Scapa and Cromarty whilst Sir David Beatty with his battlecruisers from Rosyth await the challenge of the Kaiser's High Sea Fleet. Over a hundred thousand men took part, and the reader shares the excitement, fear and anxiety of those who fought at Jutland - how it felt to be in a tiny destroyer racing to launch torpedoes into a line of dreadnoughts' blazing guns; how it feels to be inside a battleship's fifteen-inch turrets; or on the bridge of a cruiser under pulverising bombardment. This IS battle at sea.

    Churchill called it the finest feat of arms of the Great War... After a punishing winter patrolling the Strait of Dover aboard HMS Mackerel, Nicholas Everard finds himself leading a secret mission to capture a German trawler. Little does he know it is all in preparation for the Zeebrugge Raid. As dawn breaks on St George's Day, 1918, the Royal Navy launch a desperate assault on the Belgian submarine base, scuttling multiple blockships to trap the U-boats in the harbour. In sixty minutes of fire and fury, eight Victoria Crosses are won and hundreds of British sailors sink to their deaths. But will Nick be one of them? An extraordinary portrait of violence and valour, perfect for fans of C.S. Forester and Douglas Reeman.

    Nicholas Everard is ready to run the gauntlet in his most dangerous mission yet... The menacing bulk of the German battlecruiser Goeben lurks in the Golden Horn of Constantinople. It is vital that she is destroyed, and the plan is to send an E-class submarine in through the Dardanelles to sink her unawares. But it has been two years since an Allied submarine passed through the narrow straits successfully, littered as they are with minefields, nets and depth charges dropped by the gunboats endlessly patrolling above. To send a crew in now would be a death sentence, but sparing the Goeben is unthinkable. Enter Nick Everard. An unputdownable story of the final days of WWI, perfect for fans of Douglas Reeman and Patrick O'Brian. Praise for Alexander Fullerton 'The most meticulously researched war novels that I have ever read' Len Deighton
