  1. Europe.

The Nazis have taken northern Europe, and borders are sealed, until one heavily disguised trawler, a decoy ship, finds a way in. Tommy Keelson was a smuggler long before MI6 recruited him for the war effort. Now he commands The Sarah—a German-built trawler refitted with hidden guns and covert equipment. It's a lethal decoy built to slip through occupied waters and fool the enemy. From Saint-Nazaire to Honfleur, Tommy's missions grow deadlier by the week. But his next mission will be his most dangerous yet. He must rescue a captured MI6 agent who's trapped deep in occupied France. Tommy and three Free French commandos slip into Paris, strike the Gestapo's headquarters, and pull her out. But their escape erupts into a firefight along the Seine—ending in an explosion that sends Tommy overboard, presumed dead. Now wounded and trapped behind enemy lines, Tommy must fight his way to safety and back to England, where German forces are closing in on all sides. A thrilling historical naval series from the bestselling author of the Dorset Boy series. Perfect for fans of Ken Follett, Alistair MacLean, Alan Savage, Patrick O'Brian, David McDine, and Antony Melville-Ross.
