About this series
1941. The battleship Prince of Wales races across the war-darkened Atlantic. Her secret human cargo makes her an irresistible prize for U-Boats. And the man she carries can, singlehanded, win or lose the war for Britain.
But the most lethal threat comes from the air. For on the far side of the ocean three men are waiting for their brief to strike a deathblow for Germany.
As the battleship nears its destination, a seaplane roars into life, and the deadly game begins in earnest…
A vintage and enthralling WWII thriller from a master of the genre, this is top-rate historical fiction, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy, Alistair MacLean and Nevil Shute.

- Flight into Fear
1
A dynamic race with death high above the frozen North Atlantic. At eight hundred feet the Atlantic waves looked huge; they also looked terrifyingly near, rearing up hungrily as though to lick at our feet, and still there was no sign from the engines that fuel was being burned. I switched on the radio. ‘Mayday, Mayday. Golf Alpha Lima Zulu, ditching in the North Atlantic approximately seventy miles south of Cape Farewell. Mayday, Mayday…’ The surging Atlantic was only five hundred feet below us now, white foam on angry black waves, and still the Tiger plunged downward… A suspense thriller of pure adrenaline and excitement, Flight Into Fear is a nerve-shredding experience, perfect for fans of Hammond Innes, Desmond Bagley and Len Deighton.

- Whiteout
2
Cut off from civilisation, the temperature dropping fast, no way out... Seven thousand feet up on the Greenland ice-cap, in the teeth of ‘white-out’ blizzards and howling Arctic gales, a US military Polar research station lies cut off beneath the ice. At Camp Hundred, deep underground, three hundred men live – with a battery of technology to protect them from the lethal climate. But the technology begins to fail: ‘accidents’ happen too often to be coincidence. The isolated camp becomes a death-trap, with a madman setting the snares. A bone-chilling thriller that will have your heart in your mouth, perfect for fans of Jack Higgins, Hammond Innes and Len Deighton.

Duncan Kyle
John Franklin Broxholme, born June 11, 1930 Bradford, died June 2001, was an English thriller writer who published fifteen novels in a little over twenty years, 1971-1993, using the pen name of Duncan Kyle. Reminiscent of the work of Desmond Bagley, Kyle's books typically involve a tough, resourceful individual who unexpectedly becomes involved in danger and intrigue in an exotic setting. These settings are brilliantly realised, and anchor his stellar and fast moving plots, that bristle with action and suspense. Two of his novels, The King's Commissar and The Dancing Men, are classics of the historical fiction and historical detective story genres, respectively.
