1946. The war is over-on paper.
But in the cold, fog-choked North Atlantic, merchant ships are being ripped apart by torpedoes fired from a submarine that shouldn't exist. Survivors swear they saw a
skull-flagged U-boat
rise out of the mist and vanish like a ghost beneath the waves.
Ex-RAF pilot
Jack Falcon
, now a field agent for the hush-hush
Department 7
, is sent to hunt the phantom sub. With his gadget-wise partner
Billy "Sparks" Devlin
and brilliant cryptanalyst
Dr Evelyn Drake
, Falcon follows a trail from storm-tossed Irish harbours to the bomb-scarred docks of Hamburg and a hidden fjord base in Norway.
There they uncover a chilling truth: a renegade admiral has been
financing a secret Fourth-Reich network with stolen Reichsbank gold
-and he's refitted his U-boat to strike again.
Pursued by assassins, trapped aboard the enemy's deck in a gale, Falcon must out-fight the admiral in a desperate conning-tower duel as Royal Navy depth-charges hammer the sea around them.
Packed with
cliff-hanger action, wartime intrigue, storm-lashed sea battles, and classic 1940s pulp-adventure atmosphere
,
Jack Falcon and the Phantom U-Boat
launches a brand-new high-octane thriller series for fans of Jack Higgins, Alistair MacLean, and vintage radio-serial heroes.
