Rip-roaring capers in a classic Royal Navy adventure! Perfect for fans of Dewey Lambdin, Patrick O’Brian, John Winton, and Douglas Reeman.
A new posting and new challenges on land…
January 1934
Paul Dexter is spending a gloomy Christmas at home in England with his parents when word reaches him of his promotion to the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy, making him the youngest ‘brass-hat’ in the service.
He finds himself posted to Gibraltar under legendary Rear-Admiral ‘Nutty’ Castle’s command.
Dexter arrives on the ‘Rock’ full of optimism, revelling in his new rank, but daunted by the prospect of Nutty as his master, a man thoroughly unsuited to diplomacy and a sedentary life ashore.
Gathering intelligence leads to more unpleasant experiences than Dexter ever bargained for, and falling in love with Nutty’s much younger wife only makes life harder.
Exhausted and thoroughly demoralised by Gibraltar and the people around him, he contemplates where his future lies… Can he escape the island with his career intact?
SHADOW OF THE ROCK is the fourth book in the Paul Dexter Series: action-packed historical naval adventures.
