That is the question the Royal Navy's Commander (Mining) has to ask when he interviews applicant Vincent Reid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is March, 1940, and Hitler has unleashed the first of his secret weapons, the magnetic mine, against Britain. They fall by parachute, many drifting on to dry land, where they cause large-scale disruption. The menace must be overcome, and Vincent is put to work despite the Commander's misgivings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith minimal training, he approaches each development analytically and with absolute precision. One development that catches him unawares, however, is the arrival of Hazel Wythenshawe from the Ministry of Information, but they soon rise above the initial awkwardness, and the two become mutually supportive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the mine menace continues, Vincent works flat-out, realising that that the odds against his survival are shortening all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Hobbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636830331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636830339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WingSpan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Ray Hobbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459588534527,"sku":"9781636830339","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_543064d9-7e02-48ff-904a-d4ff2c43fcbe.jpg?v=1777410639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fatal-shock-ray-hobbs-9781636830339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
