Richard Tremayne the Flotilla Commander of a clandestine Special Force Naval unit operating from the rugged coastline of the Scilly Isles is once more in the thick of it.

Channel of Invasion Résumé

Channel of Invasion Mike Williams

A hidden and brutal war of subterfuge, stealth and deception is being waged along the English Channel and the Brittany coast. British Intelligence has cracked the Enigma Code and Allied forces have, for a short time, inflicted heavy losses on the U-boat Wolf-packs preying on shipping in the English Channel - until now. Plans are also well advanced for the invasion of Normandy. Richard Tremayne the Flotilla Commander of a clandestine Special Force Naval unit operating from the rugged coastline of the Scilly Isles is once more in the thick of it. Author Mike Williams again delivers a soul-stirring tale of heroism, courage and sacrifice from the 'small boat men' and remembers the men and women who remain unsung, but who gave so much in the protection of our coasts and helped liberate France. This is the second novel to feature Richard Tremayne (described as a modern day Hornblower or Aubrey for the 1940s) in wartime operations set in the Scillies, the English Channel and Northern France.

Channel of Invasion Avis

"Mike Williams' own experience with the Special Forces shines through as he skilfully spins an exciting tale around the true story" Richard Barber, author of 'The Last Piece of England' and Editor of the Tresco Times "This is a great story -an important one- and is very well told, as it deserves to be." Geoffrey Till, Professor Maritime Studies, King's College London and Director of the Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies "I like to think of him (Tremayne - the main character in the book) as a Richard Sharp for the Second World War." Chris Thomas Radio Scilly
