The Boy Allies at Jutland; Or, the Greatest Naval Battle of History
The Boy Allies at Jutland; Or, the Greatest Naval Battle of History
The year is 1916. The North Sea swells with the weight of empires. Frank Chadwick and Jack Templeton, two young officers fresh from previous adventures, have rejoined the British fleet aboard the battlecruiser H.M.S. Queen Mary, a ship that gleams white and deadly as it slides down the Thames toward the deadliest waters in European history. The Battle of Jutland looms: the largest naval engagement the world has ever seen, where British and German fleets will collide in a thundering apocalypse of steel and fire. The boys have faced danger before alongside their former commander, Lord Hastings, but nothing like this. The ship's decks will soon run with seawater and blood. Some ships will not return. Written during the war itself, this is adventure fiction as its contemporaries experienced it: urgent, patriotic, and lit with the genuine fear that the next dawn might not come for the Royal Navy. For readers who want to feel what it was to be young and at sea in the war's most terrible summer.
