Surface!

By: Alexander Fullerton

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The classic novel of submarine warfare. Written with a blazing intensity, it is a stirring and compellingly authentic journey through the greatest conflict in history, drawing upon the author’s first-hand experience. Surface! is Fullerton’s first novel, released in 1953 and based on his own life as a submarine torpedo officer: a tale of one crew’s hardship, camaraderie and great daring on board a British submarine serving during the Second World War. This is life on HMS Seahound: routine and special operations; boarding Chinese junks; creeping through minefields; engaging a Japanese cruiser; evading depth charges; returning to the port of Ceylon and the Depot Ship; and then off again into action with unerring zeal. But can they keep evading tragedy forever? And if the war ends, will they really be able to cope with life on the surface? Surface! is a must-read for fans of real-life military stories such as Sniper One, 3 Para or Apache Down.

Staying Alive

By: Alexander Fullerton

A riveting prequel to the WWII espionage series featuring British agent Rosie Ewing, in this “meticulously researched war novel” (Len Deighton). Late autumn, 1942: A group codenamed Countryman are briefed by London to get a certain German out of Vichy’s hands. What they don’t know is that they are being sold out to the Gestapo. Of course, they are constantly aware of betrayal as a looming danger. All too many SOE networks have been blown, with agents disappearing into the Gestapo cellars and extermination camps: the dread every agent lives with every minute of every day. In amongst them is Rosie Ewing, about to start a series of extraordinary life-or-death adventures . . . Praise for the writing of Alexander Fullerton: “The research is unimpeachable.” —The Sunday Times “The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing.” —The Times Literary Supplement

Not Thinking Of Death

By: Alexander Fullerton

World War Two is almost upon them. But first the submariners must face another danger... As the shadow of Nazism descends on Europe, Britain at last begins to prepare her defences. Trials start for a new class of submarine in the mouth of the Clyde. Royal Navy submariner Rufus Chalk, on board as an observer, has misgivings. There are technical problems, small enough in themselves but together possibly dangerous. On this first dive in the open sea, with numerous observers on board, if there were an accident the precious air supply would last only half as long as normal... Written by acclaimed naval veteran Alexander Fullerton and based loosely on the tragic loss of H.M. Submarine Thetis in Liverpool Bay in 1939, Not Thinking Of Death is an unputdownable novel, perfect for fans of Anthony Trew, Alan Evans and Max Hennessy. Praise for Alexander Fullerton ‘The scene of battle is quite overpowering’ Sunday Times ‘His action passages are superb, and he never puts a period foot wrong’ Observer ‘What le Carré is to the spy genre, Fullerton is to naval warfare’ South Wales Echo

Into the Fire

By: Alexander Fullerton

The first thriller in the WWII series featuring SOE agent Rosie Ewing, a “meticulously researched war novel” (Len Deighton). Summer 1943: Rosie Ewing is an agent of SOE—Special Operations Executive—and a “pianist,” Resistance slang for radio operator. Their average life expectancy is six weeks. But Rosie is brighter than most, well aware of the consequences of a second’s carelessness, or bad luck, or treachery. Or a fellow agent crumbling under torture, naming names. Her brief is to set up a new network in occupied Rouen, where the old one has been blown and an agent is suspected of betrayal. If she gets there, that is. Landing from a gunboat on the Brittany coast, she must travel to Paris—carrying forged papers, a radio transceiver, and more than a million francs in cash . . . Frighteningly realistic, unbearably exciting, the Rosie Ewing spy thrillers come from Alexander Fullerton, acclaimed for his “talent for combining historical fact with rousing fiction” (Publishers Weekly). “The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing.” —The Times Literary Supplement “His action passages are superb.” —The Observer

Floating Madhouse

By: Alexander Fullerton

A gripping historical adventure from the author of the Nicholas Everard naval thrillers. It is the summer of 1904 and Tsar Nicholas II is sending his Baltic fleet – a ragtag bunch of old crooks, untrained, potentially mutinous crews and hopelessly inefficient officers – halfway around the world to reinforce his few remaining ships in the Far East. Here the Japanese fleet under Admiral Togo has been scoring success after success against the Russians. Michael Henderson, a lieutenant caught in a forbidden tryst with the young Princess Natasha Volodnyakova on the eve of her engagement party to another man, is offered the dubious honour of sailing as an observer to Tsushima, where one of the most devastating sea battles in history will be waged. Unable to refuse, Henderson will need all his wits, and a good measure of luck, if he wants to survive... Floating Madhouse is a masterpiece of historic and military detail, ideal for fans of Douglas Reeman and Philip McCutchan.

Single to Paris

By: Alexander Fullerton

Rosie’s brief is to find Jacqueline, and through her discover where the two agents are being held—then get them out before they either talk or die. She needs help from the French Resistance. But both Gaullist and Communist groups are stirring—and at each other’s throats. There are also several exceptionally vicious pro-Nazi groups out there. Rosie is going in solo—and virtually blind . . . Praise for the Rosie Ewing Spy Thrillers: “The tension rarely slackens and the setting is completely convincing.” —The Times Literary Supplement “The most meticulously researched war novels I’ve ever read.” —Len Deighton

Non-Combatants

By: Alexander Fullerton

It is the summer of 1940 and Andy Holt has signed on as 2nd mate in the SS Barranquilla, sailing in ballast from the Clyde for Nuevitas in Cuba. From there she'll be routed up the US seaboard to Halifax, Nova Scotia, assembly-point for homebound convoys. The homebound ones are the worst - U-boats preferring their victims to be deep-laden, full of cargo. Andy has joined Quilla at the last minute and not with an easy mind. He's just heard from his girlfriend Julia that she's pregnant - two months gone - and in Newcastle in 1940 this means wedding bells. Which in itself is OK - he loves her. Only he'll be away from her now for ten weeks or more, so it will be five months before they can marry. That's if he makes it back, because this is what the U-boat people are calling their Happy Time - easy targets and lots of them, convoys with hardly any escorting warships. There have been heavy losses off Norway and Dunkirk - the vital priority at this time is for destroyers to counter the invasion that seems imminent. At the moment it is odds against any individual ship getting over 'the pond' and back...

Return to the Field

By: Alexander Fullerton

In this stunning adventure set in war-torn France—a British agent finds herself in Nazi territory—and unsure about who to trust . . . It’s the spring of 1944 and Rosie Ewing is returning to German-occupied France, by air, this time. She’s carrying a radio, half a million francs, a pistol, and two cyanide capsules to Finistere in north-west Brittany. With D-Day looming, Rosie fears that the man who’ll be meeting her on the ground tonight may be a traitor. She can’t be certain. But she does know that the likely end of the road for captured female agents is Ravensbrück, or l’enfer des femmes, as the Resistance calls it—the dreaded concentration camp for women . . . Praise for the Rosie Ewing Spy Thrillers: “The most meticulously researched war novels I’ve ever read.” —Len Deighton “His action passages are superb.” —The Observer
