Convoy North (John Mason Kemp Thriller Book 2)

World War Two, North Cape.

Commodore John Mason Kemp, faces one of the greatest challenges of his war as he battles German air and sea attacks in the waters of Norway's North Cape.

Aboard his ship, the Hardrow Falls, are brave men from all over the country. It is not long before the crew, Captain Theakston, Sub-Lieutenant Thomas B. Cutler, and Chief Officer Amory, hear the first action alarm.

The Luftwaffe has been spotted.

At risk, because they are carrying the Commodore, they are set on a specific mission to rendezvous with another British ship on the coast of Murmansk.

To pick up a German.

He should be the enemy, but he and Kemp seem to know each other already…

Kemp’s mission is to get his captive and friend, van Hagen, to talk. If not, he is to hand him over to the Russians.

When van Hagen warns him of planned attacks on the convoy, Kemp starts to realise that his information is invaluable and vows to do the best for his friend.

With constant attacks on his own and comrade’s ships, impending illnesses and life-threatening torpedoes heading for the ship, Kemp’s own trust and the trust of his crew are put to the test.

Can Kemp keep control of his crew, follow orders and still save his friend?

'Convoy North' is the next thrilling installment in the John Mason Kemp series.
