Product Description
The Wolf Hunt
Author: Justin Fox
Format: Hardcover
The enemy is in our waters . . . Having left England to join his father in the South Africa, Lieutenant Jack Pembroke has found a new home – and a new love – in Cape Town and is put in command of a small, anti-submarine flotilla at the Royal Navy base in Simonstown.
He has precious little time to train his men, and prepare his ships, for the arrival of deadly Nazi wolf packs – U-boats sent by Admiral Dönitz from bases in France to cripple the Cape convoy route.
With the Mediterranean all-but closed to maritime traffic, and Rommel’s forces rampaging through North Africa, this sea route is vital to supplying Allied forces in Egypt at a critical point in World War II. Everything will hang in the balance with the arrival of the enemy in South African waters. Gruppe Savanne comprises five long-range Uboats under the command of Fregattenkapitän Wolfgang Brand, a hardened veteran, who will stretch the Cape’s defences to the limit.
On board he carries a South African spy and ardent Nazi, who is to be landed on the West Coast to start a campaign of sabotage, assassination and rebellion bent on toppling the pro-British government of Prime Minister Jan Smuts.
With the spy safely ashore, and the Cape Peninsula under attack, Jack must now escort a convoy to Durban with the U-boat pack lying in wait. So begins a cat-and-mouse game that will push Jack and his men to breaking point.
The Wolf Hunt is the second book in the thrilling Jack Pembroke series, each of which is a stand-alone story.
