After a punishing winter patrolling the Straits 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 wink to their deaths. Will Nick be one of them?
An extraordinary portrait of violence and valour, perfect for fans of C. S. Forester and Douglas Reeman.
'The research is unimpeachable and the scent of battle quite overpowering' The Sunday Times
