Publisher Description
From the carnage of war a new hero is born.
1920. The slaughter of World War One is over, but already secret little wars are breaking out all over 'New Europe'.
Sub-Lieutenant de Vere Smith VC, at twenty the youngest Victoria Cross holder in the British Empire, is asked by the head of the Secret Service to help convoy arms to the Poles, under threat from Russia and Germany.
Jumping at the chance, Smith refits his old patrol boat, Swordfish and sets off for the Baltic. But enemy agents are everywhere, determined to stop Swordfish before its mission can even begin...
The first thrilling adventure in the Common Smith VC series, full of subterfuge and daring, from a master of the action novel.
Customer Reviews
The Baltic Run
When English veterans are asked to unofficially return to war, they jump at the chance to see action once more. De Vere Smith relishes the opportunity to lead his men again and they enjoy using skills honed in the last war. The task of escorting a convoy of Polish fishing boats would be less exciting if each one weren’t laden with guns and ammunition stolen from the Germans. And they aren’t the only ones trying to stop the submarine and its wards from arriving safely to their destination.
Definitely action packed and full of empathy for those defending their homelands. I do not believe I will continue this series due to stomach churning descriptions of violence and even more detailed descriptions of intimate acts.
