An Honourable Duncan Morant naval thriller... "The Vortex" brings the saga of Duncan Lord Eversham and Jamie Goring to a gripping climax. Seriously wounded in an engagement in the Channel, Jamie is hospitalized for several months, during which he meets and falls in love with one of his nurses, Emma Broughton. Emma is from a higher social class, being the daughter of an eminent doctor, doing her bit to assist the War effort. Although she reciprocates, her parents will not consider her marrying the son of a small garage owner, who is also only a petty officer. Jamie, fit again, undertakes, with Duncan, the most hazardous operation of either of their careers when sent to rescue a French Resistance leader from under the very noses of the Nazis. This exploit brings Jamie a commission and at last he can marry Emma. But then comes 6th June 1944, and the MTB fleet is in action helping to protect the invasion armada. It is a time for heroism and sacrifice.
