On Land and Sea at the Dardanelles

The Dardanelles, 1915. A young British soldier named Ken Carrington boards a troop transport bound for the infamous Gallipoli campaign, carrying with him a personal vendetta against the Turkish government and a family history steeped in political betrayal. When the ship is torpedoed, Ken and his steadfast companion Dave Burney find themselves fighting for survival in waters teeming with enemy submarines, then on a shore where every shadow might hide a spy. A mysterious figure aboard the vessel has already set events in motion, and now Ken must navigate not only the deadly chaos of battle but a web of espionage that threatens everything he holds dear.
