About Hell Run Tobruk: A WWII military adventure during the North African campaign (Jack Pembroke Naval Thrillers)

Don’t miss this thrilling adventure in Mediterranean waters! For fans of Dewey Lambdin, Patrick O’Brian, Chris Durbin, Douglas Reeman and Max Hennessy. Jack is out of the Atlantic … and into the Inferno… December, 1941 Lieutenant Jack Pembroke is ordered to join a convoy and sail his small escort ship, HMSAS Gannet, from the Royal Navy base in Simon’s Town, South Africa, to Egypt. With the Mediterranean all but closed to maritime traffic, and Rommel’s forces rampaging through North Africa, it seems unlikely that Gannet will survive the coming battles. Jack arrives in Alexandria and is soon thrust into the action, escorting ships running supplies to the beleaguered town of Tobruk in Libya. With the pressure building and ships around him being sunk by enemy bombers, Jack must deal with his own PTSD while leading his men to safety. And with Tobruk surrounded, about to fall to Axis forces, Gannet is still trapped in the port… Can Jack lead his men to safety? Will he make it out of Tobruk in one piece? Or will this Hell Run be his last…? HELL RUN TOBRUK is the third action-packed military adventure in the Jack Pembroke Naval Thriller series: authentic British Navy war stories set during the Second World War.
