Frigate – John Wingate

Description

Frigate by John Wingate is a gripping Cold War naval thriller featuring Captain Pascoe Trevellion of the Royal Navy. When Trevellion takes command of the frigate Icarus, he’s immediately thrust into a tense NATO war simulation—one that quickly escalates into real danger after an unexpected encounter with a Russian submarine sparks a deadly Soviet response.

Set against the chilling backdrop of northern Norway, Frigate captures the rising paranoia and brinkmanship of the Cold War era. As the threat of nuclear war looms large, Trevellion must lead his crew through icy waters, political tension, and personal demons to try and prevent global catastrophe.

Fast-paced and full of naval authenticity, Frigate explores how close the world can come to destruction—and what it takes to stand firm when peace hangs by a thread.
