The sixth thrilling instalment of the Nicholas Everard
thrillers.1942. As Japanese invasion fleets sweep across the
Pacific, a handful of Allied ships prepare for a last-ditch battle
at Surabaya in the Java Sea. Not only is the Allied force doomed to
defeat: any surviving ships will be trapped, since escape routes
are blocked by the enemy. Nick Everard, commanding the cruiser
Defiant, is badly wounded in the battle. His ship is heavily
damaged and to make matters worse, he has a battered US destroyer
under his protection. But unless Everard can find some way out of
the trap, both ships and crews face destruction... All the Drowning
Seas presents compelling action at sea, and establishes Alexander
Fullerton as one of the premier novelists of naval warfare. Praise
for Alexander Fullerton'The prose has a real sense of urgency, and
so has the theme. The tension rarely slackens.' Times Literary
Supplement
January 1944: On the vast grey waters of the Atlantic, the balance
of power has shifted. For Rudolf Steiger, ace U-boat commander,
there is a new sense of urgency. Dedicated, ruthless, and
fanatical, he has become a legend in his own time, a symbol of
Germany's greatness. But now, as he takes the U-boat flotilla
Meteor out into the bitter winter seas, he faces a new and deadly
enemy--his own nagging doubts about the outcome of the war. And
Steiger is beginning to realize that his destiny may be to court a
heroic death rather than suffer the shame of defeat.

in order for the first time, Rebellion is proud to present all of

_______________________________ Against all odds, love will lead
them home. Shurka, her husband and their two small children never
thought the war would reach their remote Polish village. They were
wrong. Forced to flee their family home, they find shelter with
their fellow Jews in the ghetto - but every night more and more
people disappear, taken away on trucks to never be seen again. As
terrible rumours of extermination camps swirl, Shurka realises that
the longer they stay in the ghetto, the lower their chances of
survival. Their best hope is to flee into the Polish forest, where
Jewish resistance fighters hold out against Nazi search parties.
Their new life is precarious in the extreme - and will test them
more than they ever thought possible... Even in the dark, hope can
be found. _______________________________ Surviving The War is the
international Amazon bestselling survival and holocaust story,
based on an incredible true story and previously published as
Surviving The Forest. It has been translated into English from the
original Hebrew.
