Against All Odds (Donald Cameron Naval Thriller Book 10)

The mission is named Operation Scatter.

They are there to do what the RAF could not: blow the pens that berthed the deadly German U-boats to kingdom come.

Itâ€™s a pet scheme cooked up by high-ups, reportedly by the man himself, to penetrate the French port of Brest.

Lieutenant-Commander Cameron has orders not to reveal a word of the mission until they have left port, but for the crew, the detachment of marine commandos on board are a dead give away that this is no ordinary mission.

On a crumbling old P-class destroyer with less than adequate supplies and firepower, Cameron has a sneaking suspicion that no one even expects them to return. His suspicions are confirmed when he realizes the overwhelming odds he and his men face.

A band of fierce and resilient maquisards await Churchillâ€™s special mission on land, but as Cameron and Operation Scatter near Brest they are met by fierce German artillery. As the senior officerâ€™s ship is blown out the water and command falls into Cameronâ€™s hands, all seems lost.

But with German warships closing in and the French Resistance still miles away, Cameron puts into action a plan of his own.

Cameron faces division amongst his officers, overwhelming firepower from the Germans, and the sense on board that the men are already doomed. But he is determined to carry out his mission objective and bring as many men home safely as possible.

Will Cameron overcome all odds and carry out Operation Scatter? Will the French Resistance and British commandos come together to deal the Nazis a fatal blow?

Against All Odds is a gripping and convincing tale of nautical adventure and the staggering horrors of war, told by an author who is both a fantastic story teller and someone with first-hand experience of WWII and the Royal Navy. It was previously published as Cameronâ€™s Raid.
