Bloody Sunset
Über dieses E-Book
In this WWI military thriller, a British Royal navy officer finds himself on a rescue mission for the Russians.
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Lieutenant Bob Cowan of the British Royal Navy must rescue a party of five women, including two of the Tsar’s daughters. With the women holed up in a refuge a hundred miles up the Astrakhan river, this will be easier said than done.
Astrakhan, where the Volga empties into the Caspian, was a Bolshevik stronghold, sizeable naval base and army command of half a million men. And the British Navy is here to fight Turks and Germans, not Bolsheviks.
How can anyone be sure—in a climate of treachery and deception—that this isn’t a trap? Getting in there will be difficult enough, what chance will he have of getting out?Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Alexander Fullerton was a bestselling author of British naval fiction, whose writing career spanned over fifty years. He served with distinction as gunnery and torpedo officer of HM Submarine Seadog during World War Two. He was a fluent Russian speaker, and after the war served in Germany as the Royal Navy liaison with the Red Army.
His first novel, Surface!, was written on the backs of old cargo manifests. It sold over 500,000 copies and needed five reprints in six weeks.
