Description
It’s 1943, and Captain Hook is at sea aboard a hijacked German U-boat.
Hook has heard all the Peter Pan-themed jokes about his name—he knows that humour can be an indispensable tool for survival in war. And now, as his crew embark on their most daring mission yet, they may need it more than ever.
The crew set off for the French port of La Rochelle, with the aim of severely hampering the German war effort by rendering the U-boats moored there useless.
But to achieve this, they all must face the horrors and losses of war. And their officers must keep the multi-layered and highly dangerous project on track until the bitter end…
More complex than any standard wartime yarn of good versus evil, The Sheer Nerve takes the reader on a meticulously observed and unflinching journey through the details and often grisly brutalities of war. Filled with adrenaline-pumping action from start to finish, it is a must-read for anybody interested in World War Two history, and fans of high quality military fiction.
