Today is New Release Day for Decoy by Christopher C Tubbs!
Blurb
1941 Europe.
The Nazis have taken northern Europe, borders are sealed, until one heavily disguised trawler, a decoy ship, finds a way in.
Tommy Keelson was a smuggler long before MI6 recruited him for the war effort.
Now he commands The Sarah — a German-built trawler refitted with hidden guns and covert equipment. It’s a lethal decoy built to slip through occupied waters and fool the enemy.
From Saint-Nazaire to Honfleur, Tommy’s missions grow deadlier by the week. But his next mission will be his most dangerous yet.
He must rescue a captured MI6 agent who’s trapped deep in occupied France.
Tommy and three Free French commandos slip into Paris, strike the Gestapo’s headquarters and pull her out.
But their escape erupts into a firefight along the Seine — ending in an explosion that sends Tommy overboard, presumed dead.
Now wounded and trapped behind enemy lines, Tommy must fight his way to safety and back to England where Germans forces are closing in on all sides.

England during WWII. Ruth joins the WAAF, and Vic joins the RAF. The book wasn’t quite what I expected, but the premise intrigued me. It was an enjoyable read nonetheless. Ruth is a strong and likeable character, although she does have a soft spot for Vic. Even Vic, despite his quirks, was likeable. It was his quirks that made his character come to life.
