From the modern master of the sea story comes a towering new adventure set in the final year of World WarII, an enthralling action novel full of the vivid battle scenes and stirring human drama that have made Douglas Reeman, whose sales exceed fifteen million copies, a household name throughout the world.
It is the summer of 1944, and on every front the war is going badly for Germany. The Allies are pushing deeper into France, the old enemy is advancing on the Eastern Front and, in the Baltic, the navy is on the defensive as the Russians drive the once-victorious divisions back into the sea. One ship, the crack heavy-cruiser Prinz Luilpold, helps to keep the pride ofthe German navy alive. Her luck in battle has become a legend, and to the beleaguered army on shore she has become a symbol. When the order comes to leave the Baltic and head out into the Atlantic to seek the rich prizes of the sealanes, the Prinz's captain Dieter Hechler has no alternative but to obey. He knows that there, in the vast killing ground ofthe Western Ocean, every ship will be an enemy and the Prinz Luitpold will need all her famous luck to survive.
As he faces the challenges of his enormous task, Hechler must submerge every private emotion under the iron mask ofcommand. His concern for his men, his love for a beautiful Luftwaffe heroine, his hatred for the ruthless, unstable admiral on the Prinz's bridge must be set aside as he prepares for combat with the small but doggedly courageous British cruiser squadron determined to hunt him down.
No other living novelist writes of war at sea with such dramatic power, and such a wealth of authentic detail. Douglas Reeman is first in his field, the supreme storyteller of the sea, and The Iron Pirate is his most exciting and compelling novel yet.

My RETURNS & POSTAGE and PACKING Policies
If you wish to return a book please let me know as soon as possible but no later than three days after receipt.
If you feel, and I agree after we have discussed it, that my description was misleading or inaccurate then, upon the receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund all your payment plus your return postage.
If the book isn't what you really wanted and if we agree, then, upon my receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund your bid price.
I have found, so far, that the majority of my buyers are genuine.
For my part I try and describe the books as fairly as possible - I am not a professional - and do not like buyers to feel dissatisfied.
My Postage and Packing charges are calculated before wrapping as best I can with a very nominal amount added for packaging costs.
With the new Royal Mail UK pricing it is, dependent on the weights, often impractical (and expensive) to pack books together so multiple buys within a seven day period are posted at cost. This means that in the case of Pay Pal payers the first book is sent off for the quoted P & P charge and I either quote for the subsequent P & P minus the overspend on the first book, or if it has been paid, refund the difference.
