Two Bren gunners who had never been to sea in their lives. They were soldiers not sailors. Yet they went to sea, fought the enemy at sea, were shipwrecked and taken prisoner at sea, and now found themselves working in the stokehold of a German-held ship, awaiting a bullet in the back from an Oberleutnant […]
In 1940, Erik Jacobsen and his father Harold worked on a fishing boat called “Agnetha”. Their life was peaceful until one day, it was spotted by a German Heinkel 111 hellbent on vengeance! For not long before, this Heinkel had been forced to crash-land after being shot up by a fishing boat named “Agatha”. Well, […]
This is where it all began, in the Mediterranean Sea, 1941. John Griffin and Martin Beaumont were two Aussie skippers poles apart in nature. One was a stickler for the rules, the other had but one —do whatever it takes. However, a German raider was about to bring them together to form an unlikely alliance. […]
Out of the murky depths they came, wreaking havoc in Gibraltar harbour, daring to defy the British defences, bringing death and destruction to the British Fleet. In silence they appeared… then vanished. They rode on torpedoes, faceless phantoms of the deep. Who were they? All the British knew was that the situation was desperate and […]

Chief Petty Officer Michael O’Rourke is a beast of a man with an attitude to match. He could kill a man with the chip on his shoulder — if his anger management issues didn’t get them first. Well, this big man soon finds himself in trouble yet again — only this time his actions have […]
