RETURN TO AFRICA
They broke surface into a dark nightmare world; dense driving rain combined with stinging salt spray driven by a fearsome wind. Niklas once more took a hold on Patrick’s harness and Thomas did likewise at his other side. Even at this close proximity it was nigh on impossible to hear each other’s shouts. The breaking waves looked enormous. Each time they rose up onto a crest they desperately tried to locate the boat.
It was nowhere to be seen.
East Africa, 1981: The British destroyer HMS Preston puts into Mombasa following three months at sea with her company all fired up to explore the local delights. But for Patrick Redman the visit turns sour when a diving expedition goes badly awry with disastrous and far reaching consequences, plunging him into an unfamiliar world where life is cheap and casual violence is commonplace. He quickly discovers his ordered naval life has done nothing to prepare him for the perils he faces.
Return to Africa is the first book in the Patrick Redman Thriller Series
