Description
The Waves of War by Graham John Parry is set against the backdrop of Europe's darkest hour. In the summer of 1940, Britain stands alone under Nazi Germany's threat of invasion. The Royal Navy's bravery in the English Channel keeps the enemy at bay, but a new destroyer, H.M.S. Brackendale, and her young commander, Richard Thorburn, are tasked with taking the fight to the enemy. With orders to "Seek, Engage and Destroy," Thorburn finds himself in desperate, close-range skirmishes of the narrow seas. From the Straits of Dover to northwest France, he faces a ruthless foe. As he spearheads a clandestine operation, the ship, crew, and captain are pushed to the limits of endurance. Courage is the order of the day. In this gripping tale, devotion to duty calls, and the stakes are high. The outcome is far from certain, as Thorburn and his crew navigate treacherous waters.
