The third book in an action-packed series of nautical adventures starring Submariner Sinclair! Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Douglas Reeman and Duncan Harding.

Sinclair finds himself pitted against an enemy with lethal plans for the human race


Mediterranean, 1943



Lurking in the Dodecanese, an unknown terror has been ambushing British submarines.

Lieutenant Peter Sinclair, R.N., Captain of H.M. Submarine Rugged and the youngest Commanding Officer with the famous ‘Fighting Tenth’ Submarine Flotilla, sets sail. His mission: to destroy the enemy.

In the Turkish city of Istanbul the discovery of a murdered agent reveals a cryptic message; a message which, once deciphered, reveals the existence of an enemy fortress producing a lethal weapon.

Behind it all is Sinclair’s nemesis – a ruthless and deadly S.S. Kommandant prepared to commit mass murder.

In a remote and hostile region, Sinclair, Commando
Lieutenant Hank Jefferson, U.S. Navy and Able Seaman Bill Hawkins carry out a daring raid to destroy the plant.

But with time fast running out will they succeed?

And will they all make it out alive?

    4.0 out of 5 stars The action is non-stop
    Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2021
    Certainly a book about submarine warfare and the cruelties of war is touched upon, but as an odd twist in this sea story Captain Sinclair gets tangled up with Nazi spies on land. A good read within a great series.

    Strange that the captain of a British submarine would be sent on a secret mission! Yes, submarines WERE used to land or recover agents, the captain?
