This series has followed Nick Everard and his family through two world wars. Nick is now Captain RN and in command of a destroyer escorting Atlantic convoy. Needless to say he is drawn into a subterfuge involving Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa in November 1942. The voyage has Nick and his crew fending off the attentions of a U-Boat pack. Meanwhile his son Paul is serving aboard a submarine on the Malta station involving secret agents and a part in the coastal landings. While this is going on Jack, having been capture during a commando attack, part of the last adventure A Share of Honour, is now a prisoner of war and not content with his lot. Has he now been caught with his trousers down?

These books are all good gung-ho boys own stuff and great reads for those that enjoys this action stuff. Only one more book in this series.1 Mick Bird760 9

Fantastic Read

I have read many books dealing with the Pacific War, but very few books about the war in the Atlantic. This book gives you an idea as to what these men faced every day, until the entrance of the United States into the war. Britain as well as Russia were having a devil of a time fighting both the Germans and the weather. David Hamel8 1 follower

Fullerton does it again...Nick Everard overcomes all odds.

When The Admiralty needs a tough man for the job, Captain Nick Everard fits the bill. Non- stop action from cover to cover in an exciting tale of convoy escort duty against seemingly insurmountable odds...you will not be disappointed. Robert M. Roth MD303 1 follower

Enjoyable Destroyer Novel

Another well told tale in the series of destroyer novels by this author. One gets a real sense of what is must have been to serve aboard these ships, escort convoys, and fight off lurking U boats. clinton Littlefield27 1 follower
