Praise The Destroyer Triology
"Carrying the full scent of the sea... " Scent
The First World War is raging and, like the land, the seas have been transformed into battlefields.
Lurking in the depths is an underwater menace, and wanted or not the war will come to them all.
Rising to the occasion, Germany's Unterseeboots face all comers in this collection of swashbuckling naval adventures from John S. Margerison:
A Captain who professes a rooted objection to war, in whatever guise it may take.
A bored Naval Reservist desirous of more warlike duties.
An angry Commodore seeking his pound of flesh for a failed torpedo attack on his ship.
A deployment-weary submarine Commander facing empty tanks, and more...
Featuring the likes of Harry Knight and James Carew, these tales of daring and courage sail through duels between vessels, unlikely catches, and aged men-o'-war hoping for one last hurrah.
Originally published in 1918, this is an entertaining and humorous volume of boy's own endeavours.
John S. Margerison authored several books around the topic of the Royal Navy. Margerison married in 1907 and had three children. Margerison also worked as an advertising manager, travelling to Bombay, India, in the 1920s and was editor of the Netherlands Indies Review.
