Book
An Onshore Storm
First published 2018
Alan Lewrie’s experimental force raids the Calabrian coast from its base in Sicily, using troop transports, barges and an under-strength regiment to disrupt French communications. Success depends on intelligence supplied by Calabrian partisans and the criminal network of Don Julio Caesare.
A new transport and its politically protected commander introduce division into the squadron just as betrayal compromises an operation ashore. Lewrie must rescue soldiers and sailors from a collapsing raid while rivals use every casualty as evidence that his unconventional command should be destroyed.
