H.M.S. Marathon - Buch

There were times when he felt he was going mad, the black moments when it would have been better if he had died in the turret…

The Mediterranean, 1942. A Royal Navy convoy is fighting its way through U-boat and air attacks to the beseiged island of Malta - and Caprain Robert Thurston is in command of the cruiser H.M.S. Marathon. Guilty at the loss of his previous command, stretched to the limit by battle and violent death, he has yet to face the most deadly threat of all.

Marking the debut of a superb new storyteller, this is a tough, tension-filled war story in the tradition of The Cruel Sea.
