1941. The battleship Prince of Wales races across the war-darkened Atlantic. Her secret human cargo makes her an irresistible prize for U-Boats. And the man she carries can, singlehanded, win or lose the war for Britain.
But the most lethal threat comes from the air. For on the far side of the ocean three men are waiting for their brief to strike a deathblow for Germany.
As the battleship nears its destination, a seaplane roars into life, and the deadly game begins in earnest...
A vintage and enthralling WWII thriller from a master of the genre, this is top-rate historical fiction, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy, Alistair MacLean and Nevil Shute.

Müəllif haqqında
John Franklin Broxholme, born June 11, 1930 Bradford, died June 2001, was an English thriller writer who published fifteen novels in a little over twenty years, 1971-1993, using the pen name of Duncan Kyle. Reminiscent of the work of Desmond Bagley, Kyle's books typically involve a tough, resourceful individual who unexpectedly becomes involved in danger and intrigue in an exotic setting. These settings are brilliantly realised, and anchor his stellar and fast moving plots, that bristle with action and suspense. Two of his novels, The King's Commissar and The Dancing Men, are classics of the historical fiction and historical detective story genres, respectively.
