Shaun Lewis

They Have No Graves as Yet Shaun Lewis

Hitler has deployed a secret weapon to knock Britain out of WW2. Ships are mysteriously sinking at an alarming rate. Britain's maritime trade is at a standstill. Unless the Royal Navy discovers the cause, Britain will lose the war within six weeks!

Aristocratic former barrister, Lieutenant 'Monty' Montcalm, discovers that the Luftwaffe is dropping a new type of magnetic mine by parachute. When the Navy develops countermeasures, Germany starts dropping these gigantic mines on cities to create terror, death and destruction. Again, it falls to the Navy to counter the menace and Stephen Cunningham, a working-class pacifist and stuttering physics teacher answers the call to risk life and limb to become a Rendering Mines Safe Officer. But the Germans are not prepared to allow the likes of Monty and Stephen to foil their campaign. Their technicians devise a cunning plan - to kill the mine disposal officers and their scientist colleagues!

"Shaun Lewis captures the very essence of the incredible men who took on the deadly threat posed by the magnetic sea mine and explains in detail the challenges they faced throughout WWII in this hugely entertaining novel."

This tense thriller is based on actual events. As with Shaun Lewis's highly successful WW1 For Those in Peril series, it is meticulously researched and a gripping read. Shaun served for 20 years in the Royal Navy - in ships, submarines, intelligence and as a Mandarin Chinese interpreter.
