John Mason Kemp Series by Philip McCutchan (Books #1, 4-6)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.54 mb
Overview: Philip McCutchan (1920-1996) grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime's interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest resulting in several fiction books, from amongst his large output, about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years.
Genre: Thriller
Convoy of War (John Mason Kemp #1)
In the early stages of the Battle of the Atlantic, a vital convoy of ships leaves war-torn Britain.
They’re bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia, seeking much-needed supplies — armour, ammunition, foodstuffs — as well as Canadian troops to reinforce the battle-weary British army.
Leading the convoy is Commodore John Mason Kemp, mobilized from the liners for war service with the Royal Navy.
The commodore has weathered countless journeys at sea, but this is war.
Decisions often have to be made split-second and can mean lives saved or lost.
Amid sudden tempests and the constant threat of German U-boat attacks, Kemp also faces the challenges of an unlikely assortment of people aboard a war-time ship:
His young assistant, eager to prove himself but with a lot to learn.
The ship’s doctor, often too drunk to attend to the wounded.
The second steward, whose questionable morals harm more than just himself.
As the convoy picks its way through submarine-infested waters, this journey will prove to be the commodore’s most difficult yet.
Convoy of War is a page-turning naval thriller, and a rich depiction of war at sea.
Convoy East (John Mason Kemp #4)
The name Philip McCutchan stands with that of the celebrated Patrick O'Brian among the masters of the naval adventure novel. In CONVOY EAST Commodore Kemp leads a group of ships from Britain into the Mediterranean. With a contingent of female officers aboard, he must proceed safely through a net of Luftwaffe and Italian navy forces to make safe harbor in Malta.
Convoy of Fear (John Mason Kemp #5)
World War II, the Suez Canal.
Commodore John Mason Kemp is back and once more leading a convoy of ships across the turbulent seas of war.
This time he’s got to make it through the Suez Canal.
But it’s not the Nazi’s he’s worried about. It’s something much more devastating to a ship - cholera.
The Canal is rife with it.
To make matters worse the convoy’s got a battleship on its tail, and there’s not a friendly ship registered for miles.
The situation aboard the ship offers its own recipe for disaster too- the Wrens are back.
The last time Jean Forrest’s female troops were escorted on a Kemp-led Convoy, maintaining social order proved difficult to say the least.
Will Commodore Kemp be able to pull them together through sickness, battle and fear?
Convoy Homeward (John Mason Kemp #6)
Families caught in the war in East Africa are desperate to get home and back to Britain…
Their first opportunity to leave lies with Aurelian Star.
With a virtually empty liner, Commodore John Mason Kemp’s orders are to pick up and accommodate the civilians, as well as German prisoners of war, on their way to Clyde.
In preparation for the war, the Aurelian Star’s original assignment was to just carry officers to Britain for training before being drafted in the Second Front.
Now, with a high-maintenance Brigadier already on board, Kemp is concerned about the convoy’s journey through enemy infested waters.
The journey is bound to be fraught with dangers, largely from German U-boats…
As a cholera suvivor, Brigadier Pumphrey-Hatton is appalled at the conditions aboard the liner and quickly gets to work voicing his complaints.
But Kemp has other things to worry about and he doesn’t need this additional hassle, even if Pumphrey-Hatton is out to do things his way…
Travelling in a convoy, and escorted by heavily-armed battleships, the Aurelian Star has sufficient backup in these troubled waters.
That is unitil the battleships are called away on another mission.
With a the crew made up of a mix of British, American and Australian officers, and with German prisoners of war also aboard, the tensions soon rise…
But for now, their priority lies with ensuring the liner is able to reach its destination with the Stuttgart just ahead of them.
On board the Stuttgart, Captain Von Bellinghausen is one step ahead of the British convoy.
Aware of the convoy’s weakness, Bellinghausen formulates a plan and, if it works, he knows he will win his prize…
