With Honour in Battle

"I have to say I really enjoyed it."
Edward L. Beach, author of Run Silent, Run Deep

"The characters are finely drawn and face the dilemma of killing as a duty while deploring the act itself. The action is suspenseful; the battles realistic. This is the best naval warfare book I have read in a long time."
Barbara Buhrer, MyShelf.com

"It's rare that I give a book ten out of ten but in [this]case I'll give it gladly... A well crafted war novel that stays with you long after you've shut down the computer and retired to bed."
Alastair Rosie, eBook Reviews Weekly
(from review of electronic edition)

In the waning days of World War II, Korvettenkapitän Hans Kruger is given command of a super-secret new U-boat. Powered by the revolutionary Walter hydrogen-peroxide turbine propulsion system, which allows submerged speeds more than three times faster than any previous submarine, and equipped with the most advanced detection gear and torpedoes available, U-2317 offers the only chance to reverse the course of war at sea.

But these advances come with a high price. The propulsion system is still experimental, and prone to potentially disastrous problems, and Kruger, Germany's most-decorated commander still at sea, also has to face his personal tragedies, in addition to a triumphant Royal Navy, which has already killed three-fourths of the German submarine forces.

This exciting novel thrillingly portrays the deadly tension of life at sea, where courageous men must again and again venture forth to face an overwhelming enemy in a battle they know is already lost. Pitting technology against a triumphant foe, With Honour in Battle tells a compelling story of courage, determination, and sacrifice in the face of hopeless odds.
