The Atlantic. The Kaiser U-Boats prowl the seas. Only the Royal Navy stands in their way.\n\nThe relentless threat of German U-boats has forced the Royal Navy to deploy its most secret weapon: heavily armed and cunningly disguised merchant vessels - the Q-ships.\n\nCommander Gordon Campbell, a seasoned officer in His Majesty's Navy, commands the Farnborough, a tramp steamer converted into a Q-ship. Under his leadership, the Farnborough becomes a deadly decoy, luring German U-boats into range for a brutal strike.\n\nBut when a dangerous encounter with a German U-boat escalates, Campbell finds himself in a race against time to outsmart the enemy.\n\nThe rules of warfare are rapidly changing. The Royal Navy's secret weapon is shifting the tide of war. And Campbell must protect the Q-ship's secret before more British lives are lost.\n\nWill they succeed in a deadly game of subterfuge, or will the price of their deception be paid in blood?\n\nPRAISE FOR CHRISTOPHER C.
