For Those In Peril

Don't miss this thrilling war-time naval thriller! For fans of Dewey Lambdin, Patrick O'Brian, Nicholas Monsarrat, C.S. Forester and Max Hennessy.

Two brothers are keen to start their naval careers. But could it all be over before they've barely begun...?

Liverpool, 1939

Twin brothers Romulus and Remus Hutchinson grew up in a proud seafaring Liverpool family. So when war breaks out in Europe, they are both keen to sign up and do their part.

With their parents' consent, both boys join up on their 16th birthday in October 1939 - Romulus as an RNVR sub-lieutenant on a Royal Navy destroyer and his brother as a deck hand with their father's employer, John Holt & Company.

But with Romulus's sadistic training officer seemingly intent on breaking the cadets' spirits before their careers have even set sail, he struggles with the intense training.

There is no time for doubts, however, as the two brothers are quickly thrown into combat.

With Operation Dynamo around the corner, will the Hutchinson brothers both make it out alive...? Can they make their mark as their forefathers did before them?

Or will the bottomless deep claim yet more victims...?

FOR THOSE IN PERIL is the first book in the Romulus Hutchinson Naval Adventure series: action-packed, authentic historical adventures following twin brothers fighting with the Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy during the second world war.
