About the Book

December 1945, and the Russian submarine Shtshuka mis-manoeuvres, becoming snagged in a trawler's nets. Whilst trying to free the vessel, two crewmen fall into the cold North Sea and are unable to get back to their sub. Hoping to find salvation from the British trawler they swim to its hull, and are hauled on board. But the trawler's skipper, 'Scouse Dennehy' has not forgiven the 'Ruskies' for their part in the War and feels no pity for the exhausted, near death submariners. Killing one of them with his boot, he despatches both men over the side, to certain death. But one, Alexi Portrova, survives, and makes it his solemn vow to avenge his murdered crewmate, no matter how long it takes.

About the Author :
The author was born in 1938 in the then village of Plymton, south Devon. Shortly after this, together with his family, he moved to areas in or around the south-west marketing town of Newton Abbot where he was subsequently raised and educated. On leaving school in the early 1950s, he decided to fulfil a lifetime ambition to join the Royal Navy. On completion of naval training he joined a destroyer based at Devonport, Plymouth and was almost immediately deployed to the Mediterranean for nine months. At the age of eighteen he volunteered for the submarine service, remaining in this profession for a further twenty-two plus years, retiring at the rank of Chief Petty Officer in 1978. Upon retirement from the Royal Navy he commenced work as a departmental manager with the local Healthcare Trust, rising to senior management level before his retirement in 1998.
