Synopsis
1941: The exotic city of Alexandria, the Royal Navy's major Eastern Mediterranean base, is virtually under siege by the Afrika Korps. A particularly lethal threat to warships is being posed by Italian frogmen and their so-called human torpedoes. Hardly the time or place for a British submarine commander to fall in love; especially as the girl in question is half-Italian, and Alexandria's large Italian population is only too eager to welcome Rommel and his troops into town. Interspersed with scenes of naval action described in gripping and authentic detail, the human drama unfolds, its actors ever aware of the mounting threat of a German breakthrough.Latest Additions

Herring on the Nile - L. C. Tyler
In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, novelist Ethelred Tressider embarks on a "research trip" to Egypt. No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
