It’s the height of World War II and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Lieutenant Jack Pembroke is ordered to join a convoy and sail his beloved ship,
HMSAS Gannet, from South Africa to Egypt, where he will join the coastal escorts.
With the Mediterranean all but closed to maritime traffic and Rommel’s forces
rampaging across North Africa, it seems unlikely Gannet will survive.
Jack finds passionate romance with a Spanish beauty in exotic
Alexandria but is soon thrust into battle while escorting ships running supplies
to the beleaguered town of Tobruk, home of the Second South African Infantry
Division. With the pressure building and ships around him being sunk by enemy
bombers, Jack must deal with his own trauma while leading his men to safety.
It all comes to a head when Tobruk is surrounded, about to fall to Axis
forces, with Gannet still trapped in the port.
Hell Run Tobruk is the third book in the thrilling Jack Pembroke series,
each of which is a stand-alone story.
