    About this audiobook

    The French submarine L'Alouette prowls deep beneath the surface of the North Atlantic, its crewmembers eager to spill blood in the service of their frenzied nationalism—regardless of the cost. And only one man can stop them. That man is Neil Mallory, former lieutenant colonel of the British Special Air Services and Korean War hero. Can Mallory and his team find and destroy L'Alouette before it shatters Europe's fragile peace?

      A submarine falls into the hands of French renegades who are using it in order to deal out their own cruel form of justice.Formerly known as the butcher of Perak, Neil Mallory is assigned to find out the whereabouts in the Channel Islands. Posing as a boat navigator for the now ailing General Grant. Assisted by his French counterpart, can he stop the submarine from inflaming the cold war? Is he able to overcome past demons in order to save the day?Another Higgins novel where the pages fly by. The ending appeared a little rushed but this early novel gives great glimpses into many of the later characters Higgins develops.Well worth a read, although a little clichéd at times.
