The bestselling novel from the master storyteller of the sea. Hiding, lying in wait on the sea bed, is EX16, one of the most important ships in the Royal Navy. She's not much to look at, and she's only 54 feet long, with no defensive armament. But her four-man crew knows that the outcome of the war could depend on this midget submarine. Seaton, her commander, understands what his men face. There is the boredom, the discomfort, the jealousy and bickering; and already they have confronted enormous dangers on desperate raids into Norway. Now, poised for the attack on a secret Nazi rocket installation, Seaton must hold his crew together for the hell that awaits them- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The action begins when the Germans hide their new rocket on a ship in a Norwegian fjord. Lt. David Seaton and his crew sinks the ship only to later return to that very ship, to recover a secret device from it and pick up a defecting scientist. Seaton and his crew return to base bruised and bloodied but undaunted only to be given an even more dangerous mission: to blow up an underwater U-boat pen and rocket-launching site on the Normandy coast.
In many respects this is a fairly predictable piece of story telling set beneath the North Sea. There is the almost obligatory love interest, there is boredom, discomfort, jealousy and bickering on board set alongside acts of selfless daring. However, it is also a solid piece of writing providing a certain escapism that will no doubt charm fans; whilst it may spark a desire in casual readers to look more closer at the true facts behind the story.
