Description

**Celebrating 100 years of Douglas Reeman. Discover the master of the naval adventure thriller.**

***********************************************************************************

The Allies are poised for the invasion of Italy.

Yet the Germans hold a vital card: a floating dock - the only one in the Adriatic large enough to take a major warship. Moored at a small port near Rimini, it is exposed, vulnerable.

It must be destroyed before the Germans can tow it to a safer harbour. Air, surface and conventional submarine attacks are out of the question.

Only one team can do the job and still stand a chance of surviving - the crew of HM Midget Submarine XE 51...

If you like nail-biting tension, all-guns-blazing action and high-octane drama, then this historical adventure novel from multi-million copy bestselling author Douglas Reeman is perfect for you. Fans of Clive Cussler, Bernard Cornwell and Wilbur Smith will not be disappointed.
