1915. The Atlantic. The Kaiser U-Boats prowl the seas. Only the Royal Navy stands in their way. 

The relentless threat of German U-boats has forced the Royal Navy to deploy its most secret weapon: heavily armed and cunningly disguised merchant vessels — the Q-ships. 

Lieutenant Harrington Edwards, a seasoned officer in His Majesty’s Navy, commands the Taranaki, a fishing trawler converted into a Q-ship. Under his leadership, the Taranaki becomes a deadly decoy, luring German U-boats into range for a brutal strike. 

But when a dangerous encounter with a German U-boat escalates, Harrington finds himself in a race against time to outsmart the enemy.  

The rules of warfare are rapidly changing. The Royal Navy’s secret weapon is shifting the tide of war. And Harrington must protect the Q-ship’s secret before more British lives are lost. 

Will they succeed in a deadly game of subterfuge, or will the price of their deception be paid in blood?
