Synopsis
THE HYDRA CIPHER... Using the secret Enigma code machine, Admiral Donitz talked freely with his U-boats ranging the Atlantic in search of prey. But at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire the British cipher experts eavesdropped on Enigma — and anticipated the enemy's movements. Suddenly the Hydra cipher was altered, and the 'Great Blackout ' began. No longer could the Admiralty track the U-boats, and the Battle of the Atlantic seemed lost. Then Winston Churchill gave immediate orders - the new cipher must be broken at all costs. And that is how Lt Cmdr Edward Yorke found himself at sea in the fearful North Atlantic winter — unravelling the new Enigma machine in circumstances of the utmost danger... and in a desperate race against time. By the topselling author of the Ramage Series and Convoy

About the Author
Dudley Bernard Egerton Pope was born in 1925 into an ancient Cornish seafaring family. He joined the Merchant Navy at the age of sixteen and spent much of his early life at sea. He was torpedoed during the Second World War and his resulting spinal injuries plagues him for the rest of his life. Towards the end of the war he turned to jouralism becoming the Naval and Defence Correspondent for the London Evening News. Encouraged by Hornblower creator CS Forester, he began writing fiction using his own experiences in the Navy and his extensive historical reseacrh as a basis. In 1965 he wrote 'Ramage', the first of his highly successful series of novels following the exploits of the heroic Lord Nicholas Ramage during the Napoleonic Wars. He continued to live aboard boats whenever possible and this was where he wrote the majority of his novels. Dudley Pope died in 1997 aged seventy one.
