Book
Beneath the Aurora
First published 1995
As Napoleon’s position weakens in Germany, Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater receives evidence of a secret agreement involving the United States. His orders take him north into the Norwegian fjords, where coastal batteries, ice and uncertain local loyalties make every movement of his ship hazardous.
The mission combines diplomacy and covert warfare with the brutal conditions of the Scandinavian coast. Drinkwater must determine who can be trusted and prevent the treaty from altering the balance of the wider war before his isolated command is trapped beneath the aurora.
