Description
A fast-paced, action-packed naval thriller! Perfect for fans of Frederick Forsyth, Douglas Reeman, Patrick O’Brian and Jack Higgins.
A David and Goliath battle wages in the North Sea…
Winter, 1940
Lieutenant-Commander John Lamb has been awarded the command of his first ship, the destroyer HMS Rose.
Unfortunately for him and his new misfit crew, she has a tragic history and is said to be jinxed by those in the know.
This reputation, along with that of his own father, the late Admiral Lamb, who was charged with cowardice after the last war, means John has his work cut out to prove his worth.
As the ‘Phoney War’ in Europe comes to an end, the Rose is called into action. Britain needs every ship available to fight against Hitler’s formidable Kriegsmarine.
Assigned to the vindictive Admiral Yorke’s Eighth Destroyer Flotilla, the Rose is the oldest and slowest ship in the fleet.
But as intelligence comes in that Hitler plans to invade Norway, can John Lamb lead his ship to victory…?
FLOTILLA ATTACK is the first book in the HMS Rose WWII Naval action-packed historical naval adventures set during the Second World War.
