BLOODING OF THE GUNS

Jutland, 1916 and in the icy waters of the North Sea, the Royal Navy awaits the challenge of the Kaiser's High Sea Fleet. Sub-lieutenant Nick Everard could never have imagined the terror he would face as his destroyer races to launch its torpedoes into the blazing guns of a horizon obscured by dreadnoughts. But when the steering-gear on HMS Warspite jams, it is up to Nick, along with his brother Hugh, to save thousands of lives. A young sailor with the weight of the world on his shoulders, a brother in the line of fire, and the greatest naval battle of all time, the novel is dramatic, action-packed and brimming with suspense, launching the epic career of Nicholas Everard in this three book series of which we have all three. 333pp, paperback.
