The Gatecrashers

Alexander Fullerton

Summary

The extraordinary final Nicholas Everard Naval Thriller from the author who “knows life at sea, and he recreates it with authenticity and vigor” (Historical Novel Society). Six submarines are about to be towed underwater from Scotland to Norway. Their targets: the giant German warships Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, and Lutzow. The odds seem stacked against the smaller craft. But if they can survive the nightmarish 2,000-mile tow, Commander Paul Everard will have a chance to gatecrash the fjords and cripple the ship Churchill calls “the Beast.” Whether or not he succeeds, the chances of getting out alive are slim. If he fails, his father Nick Everard, escort commander for Arctic convoy PQ19, is in trouble: none of his ships can stand up to Tirpitz’s broadsides. As The Gatecrashers draws to its thunderous climax, father and son face their final and most searching test . . . Based on the thrilling true story of Operation Source, The Gatecrashers is the blistering culmination of the bestselling Nicholas Everard Naval Thrillers, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy and Alan Evans. Praise for The Nicholas Everard Naval Thrillers “The prose has a real sense of urgency, and so has the theme. The tension rarely slackens.” —Times Literary Supplement “The research is unimpeachable and the scent of battle quite overpowering.” —The Sunday Times “The accuracy and flair of Forester at his best . . . carefully crafted, exciting and full of patiently assembled technical detail that never intrudes on a good narrative line.” —The Irish Times

Budgets, coupons, lawn care—you name it, she’s learning to do it all on her own. Well, almost on her own—she’d be lost without Gail Broughton, the kind widow across the street. But when Gail’s son comes home, Christina’s vow to never trust a man again is put to the test. 
 
Will Broughton left town because he was tired of being “that poor man” who lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident.

She’s taken Christina under her wing, and the beautiful and determined single mother awakens something in Will he thought was buried forever. 
 
As Will and Christina are forced to spend more time together, feelings that are more than neighborly grow between them. And with Christmas coming and a child filling both houses with holiday cheer, it becomes nearly impossible not to embrace the joy—and the love—in their lives.
