About this ebook

**Celebrating 100 years of Douglas Reeman. Discover the master of the naval adventure thriller.**

********************************************************************
December 1917: Germany opens the final, bitter round of the war with a new and deadly weapon in the struggle for the seas - the Vulcan.

When she sails from Kiel Harbour, she is, to all appearances, a harmless merchant vessel. But her peaceful lines conceal a merciless firepower: guns, mines and torpedoes that can be brought into play instantly.

The Vulcan is a commerce raider. And under crack commander Felix von Steiger, her mission is to bring chaos to the seaways.

Her enemies have no idea what lies in store...

Multi-million copy bestselling author Douglas Reeman will take you right to the heart of the action in this page-turner of a historical adventure novel. Laden with tension, explosive developments and unforgettable battle scenes, this is perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Bernard Cornwell and Wilbur Smith.
