Book description
With his own boat, the motor yacht Sea Fox, former naval officer Philip
Vivian had hoped to earn a living free from the petty restrictions of
everyday life, close to the sea he loved. Now, however, his dream is
threatened by financial difficulties. So when a profitable, if legally
dubious, proposition is put to him by an old naval comrade in arms,
Vivian is willing to listen. But what starts out as a harmless adventure
soon turns into something altogether more sinister. And Vivian finds
himself trapped in a treacherous web of violence and crime, dangerously
torn between his stubborn sense of past loyalties and his duty to a
society he has always despised. Douglas Reeman joined the Navy in
1941. He did convoy duty in the Atlantic, Arctic and the North Sea, and
later served in motor torpedo boats. Reeman has written over thirty
novels under his own name and more than twenty best-selling historical
novels, featuring Richard Bolitho and his nephew Adam Bolitho, under the
pseudonym Alexander Kent.
