The Atlantic convoy
By @alasdair McFarland
In the year 2030, the Atlantic burns. With the USA withdrawn, NATO faces Russia in a brutal naval war. Commander Logan Shand, a calculating tactician haunted by past failures, commands the stealth corvette *Buttercup*. His unique ability to inspire unwavering loyalty in his crew is their only real advantage. Lagging behind a critical convoy, Shand and his crew are tasked with a near-impossible mission: defend the lone, vulnerable cargo vessel, the *SS Dauntless*, from relentless Russian submarine and air assaults. The fate of a vital supply line, and perhaps the war itself, rests on Shand's shoulders. Every sonar ping, every shadow, could mean obliteration. Can he overcome his own demons and outwit the enemy, or will the Atlantic claim another victim?
