Overview

The English Channel, Spring 1944. The greatest invasion in history is coming. And the Germans have a weapon that could stop it. Lieutenant Commander Jordan Cole has survived the war so far - but not without cost. The ghost of his executive officer, killed in a PT boat ambush Cole believes he caused, follows him into every battle. Now, commanding a squadron of American PT boats in the treacherous English Channel, Cole is running out of time to make things right before the invasion that will decide the war. Hunting the Allied convoys threading their way through E-boat Alley is Fregattenkapitan Reubold - a brilliant, fearless, and utterly dangerous German S-boat commander who knows these waters like the veins in his own hands. And waiting in the shadows is the Reich's deadliest secret: a new class of hydrofoil torpedo boats - the Trinity - so fast and lethal they could rip through the massive Allied armada before the beaches of Normandy are ever reached. Standing between them and catastrophe is the battered destroyer HMS Firedancer and her indomitable Captain George Hardy - a man who has never once turned away from a fight. Set against the deafening chaos of night sea battles, radar rooms crackling with tension, and the bone-deep exhaustion of men who have seen too much war, Armada is a WWII naval action thriller of breathtaking intensity. From claustrophobic S-boat pens in Cherbourg to the carnage of convoy ambushes in the dark Channel waters, Steven M. Wilson delivers World War II English Channel fiction at its most visceral and authentic. For readers who love D-Day historical novels, WWII naval warfare fiction, and stories where courage is the only weapon that never runs out. The armada must sail. Nothing - and no one - can be allowed to stop it.
