Coming Soon! Your Next Reading Adventure!

​It’s the dark days of World War II. The Norwegian resistance had been fighting a quiet battle against their Nazi occupiers by sending vital information back to the allies. But when they start taking a more aggressive role the occupiers decide they must be eliminated.
The liberty ship John Ireland, after surviving the dangerous North Atlantic and Arctic trip to Murmansk, is chosen to become part of the effort to rescue Norwegian civilians and carry them to safety in England before the Nazi’s can carry out the order to wipe them out.
Based on a real, but little-known mission during World War II.

Congratulations on your 5-star review!
"The Hell Run was a refreshing perspective on the naval war of WWII.  The action sequences in the story were exciting, well documented, and to this layman, seemingly unerringly accurate, in the descriptions of naval warfare. If you love WWII stories, this book is something a little different, highly readable, and one that I know you will adore. For readers everywhere, this is a book I can highly recommend."

" The kid from Kansas jumped up and took his gun back. He pointed at the oncoming U-boat and held the trigger down screaming at the top of his lungs all the while.
Van Metre patted him on the back, “That’s it son, we’re not going down with one lousy bullet left onboard this bucket.”

REVIEWS:
"Palmiotti’s prose flows beautifully from chapter to chapter, taking readers on an epic journey that sweeps from the mastery of the seas to the claustrophobic setting of the U-boat interior itself." K.C  Finn- Reader's Favorite

"Palmiotti’s story is hard to put down, and his characters are superbly delineated and credible." Jack Magnus- Reader's Favorite

NEW  REVIEW
"The plot is fast-paced and unpredictable, propelling an anxious reader along. The narrative is strongest when capturing the operations of the sailors and the maneuvers of the sailing vessels, not surprising since author Anthony Palmiotti is a licensed merchant marine officer and professor of navigation and vessel operations." Historical Novel Society

"Add to that First Voyage’s rightful claim as a first-rate historical novel, and you’ve got one of the best books of the year as far as I can see. Palmiotti’s writing is translucent and lyrical at times, but always highly accessible and, like a siren’s call, quite irresistible. First Voyage is a most impressive debut novel, and it’s most highly recommended" Reader's Favorite
