The bestselling novel from the master storyteller of the sea.

Hiding, lying in wait on the sea bed, is EX16, one of the most important ships in the Royal Navy. She's not much to look at, and she's only 54 feet long, with no defensive armament. But her four-man crew knows that the outcome of the war could depend on this midget submarine. Seaton, her commander, understands what his men face. There is the boredom, the discomfort, the jealousy and bickering; and already they have confronted enormous dangers on desperate raids into Norway. Now, poised for the attack on a secret Nazi rocket installation, Seaton must hold his crew together for the hell that awaits them-

Industry Reviews

In these routine but readable WW II submarine adventures, the only novelty is the submersion of Britain's midget four-man subs, which were used to distract the Nazis in Norway from the D-Day invasion buildup in 1944. The action begins when the Germans hide their new rocket on a ship in a fjord - but also on board are many Norwegian prisoners. The X-16 minisub's commander, Lt. David Seaton, swallows his humanism and blasts the ship to the bottom. His second assignment is to return to that very ship, recover a secret device from it, and pick up a defecting scientist. Seaton emerges thoroughly scraped but not scrapped. His third mission: blow up an underwater U-boat pen and rocket-launching site on the French coast. The two love stories back on shore are sugar-free, as is the stout, stolid tale-spinning under the frigid North Atlantic. (Kirkus Reviews)
