Goodreads asked Chris Durbin:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Chris Durbin I found a reference to an obscure event in the Seven Years War where a commodore with a tiny squadron was ordered to intervene on the German coast. I had never heard of this operation before although now that I've searched I find that it is well-documented although only superficially. That was the central fact that gave me the idea for the story.
