Not Thinking of Death - Hardcover
A meticulously researched adventure, painting a vivid picture of a tragedy that shakes the nation. As the shadow of Nazism descends on Europe and Britain begins to prepare her defenses, trials for the first of a new class of submarine are taking place in the mouth of the Clyde. Royal Navy submariner Rufus Chalk, observing the trials, has one or two misgivings. There are certain technical problems, small enough in themselves but, overall, potentially dangerous. This is the first dive in the open sea, with twice the boat's normal complement on board - shipbuilders' representatives and technicians as well as naval observers - if there were an accident, the precious air supply would last only half as long as normal.
