Description
HMS Dawlish, a Type 23 frigate, faces numerous dangers on her journey to the Persian Gulf. Among her crew is a committed Al Qaeda terrorist with a secret explosive, who plans to blow up the ship and kill its crew. However, circumstances beyond his control lead to unexpected events, including an attraction to one of the female crew members. As Dawlish navigates the complexities of modern warfare, she must also contend with pirates, computer-controlled rockets, and missiles. The book chronicles her experiences, including raunchy runs ashore and relationships between crew members. Will the terrorist complete his mission, or what fate awaits his girlfriend? The author's portrayal of a fighting modern warship highlights the intricacies of contemporary naval warfare. With its focus on the human side of conflict, this novel offers a gripping account of life on board HMS Dawlish.
