The Skipper Goes to War: Book One of The Skipper Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739638412)

The Third Reich on one hand, the British Secret Intelligence Service on the other. Can these trawlermen survive the relentless danger of sea warfare?

This book pays tribute to the legendary, but too often forgotten, heroes of the Royal Naval Patrol Service in World War Two.

War is looming and the people of Britain hold their breath; will peace continue or will the horrors of war return? The skipper of a Scarborough trawler fears for his ship and crew, both during and after the likely conflict.

After somewhat farcical training, they learn the true nature of their role. Enduring the savagery of escorting east-coast convoys, fighting to move resources needed to defend Britain, the Skipper knows they must excel at their recently learned skills. To compound his worries, he is also tasked with helping the Secret Intelligence Service carry out their missions. Then the invasion of Norway pulls them into a mission involving peril, courage and great sacrifice.
