Nicholas Everard, a seasoned and resourceful naval officer, faces his most perilous mission yet. The imposing German battlecruiser Goeben poses a significant threat as it lies anchored in the Golden Horn of Constantinople. Its destruction is paramount to Allied efforts, and the daring plan involves sending an E-class submarine through the heavily fortified Dardanelles. The Dardanelles, a narrow and strategically vital waterway, are a death trap. For two long years, Allied submarines have failed to navigate these straits successfully, which are now bristling with deadly minefields, menacing nets, and relentless depth charges unleashed by patrolling gunboats. To send another crew into this gauntlet seems like a suicidal mission. However, the cost of allowing the Goeben to remain a threat is simply unacceptable.
