About the Book

'A master of sea-going adventure. Enough taut suspense to satisfy any reader.' Clive Cussler

When a large rogue wave forms in the North Atlantic, three unsuspecting vessels are forced to protect themselves as best they can from the onslaught.

Among these ships is Richard Mariner's trusty tug Sisyphus which, due to his quick-thinking and bold risk-taking, is saved from the worst of the wave's effects.

However, when Richard's wife, Robin, is swept away by the wave he soon realises that his troubles have only just begun.

As the other two boats fail to fare as well as the Sisyphus, with one lost and the other badly damaged, Richard aids the battered Quebec submarine up to the surface of the water, so that Canadian Fleet Command can take over.

But as those aboard the Quebec face threats from both the merciless sea and those within their midst, Richard and his crew must rapidly adapt to an ever-worsening situation.

Richard Mariner must face one of his most difficult challenges yet: balancing loyalty to his wife and professionalism in his work. Mariner could lose everything.

Peter Tonkin was born in 1950 in Ulster, Northern Ireland and was raised in the UK, Holland, Germany, and the Persian Gulf. The son of an RAF officer, Tonkin spent much of his youth travelling the world from one posting to another. He is also the author of the Richard Mariner Thriller Collection, Caesar's Spies and the Tom Musgrave Mysteries.

Praise for Peter Tonkin:

"The Ides is a testosterone-fuelled battle roar in a world of double-dealing and betrayal, where wits must be sharp and recovery time between violent encounters is brief. Peter Tonkin has infused a familiar narrative with excitement, energy and a delicious twist right at the very end." - Mystery People

"Riveting tale full of fast action" - Publishers Weekly

"Edge-of-the-seat terror" - Daily Post

"Good technical detail, plus an exciting climax, makes this entertaining reading" - Publishing News

"A welcome aura of old-fashioned expertise" - Publishers Weekly

"A good thriller, recommended" - Library Journal

"Tonkin is a superb storyteller who creates big, brash, swashbuckling adventures with taut suspense, fast-paced action and tough, resourceful characters." -Booklist

"Equals the best of James Clavell" - Daily Telegraph

"Good technical detail, plus an exciting climax, makes this entertaining reading" - Publishing News

"Edge-of-the-seat terror on the high seas" - Daily Post
