Lieutenant Mike Nicholson is operating out of Malta. Captaining the submarine Ursa, he’s part of the fleet deputed to disrupt the flow of war supplies from Italian ports to Rommel’ s Afrika Korps. Although Ursa is small, under armed, and frustratingly slow, she succeeds, on her 17th Mediterranean cruise, in sinking a German tank-transporter. That triumph puts Mike at the top of the league—he has now sunk more tonnage than any of his contemporaries. Promotion to Lieutenant-Commander, at the age of 28, is now on the cards. All he has to do is adhere to two rules—stay alive, and keep your nose clean. Show more
