Sub-lieutenant Paul Everard serves aboard the submarine Ultra in the Mediterranean where the Allies keep up their desperate attacks against Axis supply ships.

Another gung-ho novel of the Everard series. While Sir Nick is en-route to Australia in HMS Defiant his half brother Jack is involved in the operation against the big dry dock and u boat pens at St. Nazaire and Nick's son Paul is sailing in a submarine from Malta.
This is a meticulously researched, in part from the authors own experience, and part from records of the events war time novel. All action and stiff upper lip stuff.

Readable
I have read each of the books in the series. Perhaps the stories about the main characters become less interesting after so many repeats of their history, this one just did not have the intensity of the previous stories.

An excellent addition to this series. The author matures his main characters and many of his sub-characters exceedingly well. This is a fast paced, action book with a lot of the edge of your seat drama that should keep you coming back to this series. It is interesting how he entwines the very disparate adventures of his characters with their interpersonal relationships such that they seem to actually be extensions of the character's personalities. Can't wait to read the next installment in the series.

Exciting series, lots of nuts & bolts
Very detailed descriptions on RN sub and commando ops with an entertaining story line woven throughout. The whole Everard series is very satisfying.

Very Good Read
This book was very thoroughly researched,and the fictional characters who were introduced were introduced in such a manner as to make the story incredibly believable.

Very good
Another fine story in this series. The authors powers of description really give you the feel of what it must have been like to be there.

November 4, 2017Another Great Everard Read!
Even as the author's imagination, the Ever are brothers seem to always be in the thick of it, and just barely able to be the heroes before the tale ends. I have always liked historical fiction, and Mr.Fullerton is an absolute master of it. I look forward to the next book in the series with anticipation.
