From a British author praised for his “breathtaking . . . portrayal of men under fire,” a WWI military thriller featuring a family of naval officers (Publishers Weekly).
Sub-lieutenant Paul Everard serves in the Mediterranean aboard the submarine Ultra, helping the Allies attack Axis supply ships in a life or death struggle beneath the waves.
But Paul has other worries: his father, Nick, is somewhere in the Far East, at risk from the rapidly advancing Japanese. His brother, Jack, has become embroiled in the murky world of clandestine operations, and been sent on a high-risk mission to destroy a key German naval base.
The Everards are risking everything for the war. But what price is too high for one family to bear?
