The final days of the First World War, and the menacing bulk of the German battlecruiser Goeben lurks in the Golden Horn at Constantinople. It is vital that she is destroyed, or at least immobilized, and the favoured method is to send an E-class submarine in through the Dardanelles to the Sea of Marmara. If all goes according to plan, the Goeben should fall into one of two traps: either she will be blown up at her moorings, or the crew will be panicked into sailing her within range of E.57's deadly torpedoes.

However, it is two full years since an Allied submarine has passed through the Dardanelles successfully - the narrow straits are now littered with minefields and nets, and are continually patrolled by gunboats. To send a submarine through now seems suicidal, but the alternative of sparing the Goeben, and its awesome firepower, is equally unthinkable.

Aided by a Marine explosives expert and a taciturn intelligence specialist, Nick Everard is on board and in control, ready to run the gauntlet in his most dangerous mission yet.

The third of Alexander Fullerton's acclaimed series of novels featuring Nick Everard, PATROL TO THE GOLDEN HORN is another brilliantly authentic description of naval warfare, written with characteristic narrative flair and drive, and vividly capturing the essence of battle at sea.

The author

Alexander Fullerton is well-qualified to write novels with a naval background; he comes from a naval family, and went to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth at the age of 13 in 1937. He went to sea as a midshipman at the end of 194i, serving first in the Mediterranean — in the battleship Queen Elizabeth, cruiser Orion and destroyer Hero, before joining submarines at Malta — and later in the North Sea and Far East; he ended the war as a lieutenant with a mention-indespatches for distinguished service. He resigned from the navy in 1949, and worked for ten years in South Africa. During this period, he had his first novel published — SURFACE! — based on his experience as gunnery and torpedo officer on the submarine Seadog. SURFACE! has so far sold nearly a million copies around the world. Since his return to England in 1958, he has published other kinds of fiction — including the novels CHIEF EXECUTIVE, THE PUBLISHER and OTHER MEN'S WIVES — but is now `back at sea' for good.
