by John Wingate (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,701 ratings
The thrilling Cold War military adventure continues! Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Douglas Reeman and Duncan Harding.

Is mankind’s worst nightmare about to become a reality?

After a devastating nuclear strike attacked HMS Icarus, her few survivors are called on by NATO to take drastic action against the enemy.

And when a terrible atrocity is committed against Britain, the stakes are raised still higher…

The air-craft carrier Furious, under the command of Captain Pascoe Trevellion is sent into the action.

Together with its Fleet Air Arm squadrons, Furious throws itself into protecting vital Atlantic sea lanes against concentrated Soviet hostilities.

And soon a deadly nuclear stand-off begins to take shape between the world’s superpowers.

Can anything be done to defuse the mounting hostilities? Or is the spectre of all-out nuclear war drawing closer?

CARRIER is the second book in the Cold War Naval Thriller Series, gripping military action novels written in the 1980s as futuristic fiction. They can now be read as alternative history.

    While it may not be the the power that once protected a worldwide empire from all comers, the Royal Navy still packs a punch despite shortages of everything, but guts and skill. I enjoyed this story as the author captures the cultural perspective along with creating interesting characters, with just enough of Tom Clancy's ability to make technical details readable, without sounding like a manual. Great read.

    in spite of the authors terrible habit of using three letter idioms for descriptions. The story was full of them: he must have been making a joke of the story as he used three capital letter descriptors for everything . FUBAR and MANOSEWHRE.

    This is a very vivid description of war on a carrier and the aircraft that flew from her. It pictures the horrendous conditions and the casualties that are suffered in the circumstances. t covers the pressures faced by the Captain and his crew both at sea and on land. Excellent.

    A thrilling story. Wingham is a skilled writer, but it would be helpful for the many readers who do not have a naval background if he would care to add a glossar of the many used abbreviations and acronyms.
