Readers of Clive Cussler, Bernard Cornwell and Wilbur Smith will not be disappointed! 'One of our foremost writers of naval fiction' -- Sunday Times 'Mr Reeman writes with great knowledge about the sea and those who sail on it' --The Times 'A real adventure' -- ***** Reader review 'Great storyline - really grips you to the end' -- ***** Reader review 'Typically superbly written' -- ***** Reader review 'This author never lets you down' -- ***** Reader review 'Great reading -- edge of your seat stuff' -- ***** Reader review ******************************************************************************** They're called The Glory Boys, by those who regard their exploits with envy or contempt. January 1943: Glory Boy Bob Kearton - already a veteran and survivor of the close action in the English Channel and North Sea - is ordered to the Mediterranean and beleaguered Malta, a mere sixty miles from occupied Sicily. Unexpectedly promoted to lieutenant-commander, he is given charge of a newly formed and, as yet, incomplete flotilla of motor torpedo boats. Although the tide of defeat is thought to be turning, with the enemy no longer advancing along the North African coast, Kearton's is a new war of stealth, subterfuge, and daring, in which the Glory Boys are only too expendable.
