J E Macdonnell 13: Night Encounter
When his ship was laid up for repairs, two-fisted petty-officer William Walker volunteered for a spell with the Light Coastal Forces, working alongside a crew full of Brits in a lightning-fast Motor Torpedo Boat. He knew it was going to be an education, but he never dreamed he would eventually find himself caught up in a deadly attack on Cherbourg Harbour.
A flotilla of E-boats and destroyers, hidden in the fog, gave Walker a further chance to use his own special expertise in fighting the enemy. But nobody expected him to come out of the conflict changed as he did … in more ways than one.

Night Encounter
Tells the tale of how Hooky Walker lost his hand. JE cleverly spliced the story of the hero of this book with actual events from WWII. It is a typical yarn by the author that is both fast paced and heavy with detail. The sort of detail that only someone with first hand experience would understand and happy to share with the reader. The book details gut wrenching moments along with moments of time grabbed as opportunities arose for male and female companionship before the inevitable return to the violence of war.
