Convoy of War (John Mason Kemp Thriller Book 1)

In the early stages of the Battle of the Atlantic, a vital convoy of ships leaves war-torn Britain.

Theyâ€™re bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia, seeking much-needed supplies â€” armour, ammunition, foodstuffs â€” as well as Canadian troops to reinforce the battle-weary British army.

Leading the convoy is Commodore John Mason Kemp, mobilized from the liners for war service with the Royal Navy.

The commodore has weathered countless journeys at sea, but this is war.

Decisions often have to be made split-second and can mean lives saved or lost.

Amid sudden tempests and the constant threat of German U-boat attacks, Kemp also faces the challenges of an unlikely assortment of people aboard a war-time ship:

His young assistant, eager to prove himself but with a lot to learn.

The shipâ€™s doctor, often too drunk to attend to the wounded.

The second steward, whose questionable morals harm more than just himself.

As the convoy picks its way through submarine-infested waters, this journey will prove to be the commodoreâ€™s most difficult yet.

Convoy of War is a page-turning naval thriller, and a rich depiction of war at sea.

Praise for Philip McCutchan:

"His character conflicts are well organised." â€” Daily Telegraph

'A gripping page-turner.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Trade-Off.'

Philip McCutchan grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime's interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest of his, resulting in several fiction books about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years. He served throughout WW II in a variety of ships, including the cruiser Vindictive, the ocean boarding vessel Largs, and the escort carrier Ravager, ending the war as a lieutenant, RNVR.
