November 1915: The Great War rages. After nine months of massive losses, Britain has failed to break through the Dardanelles Straits to open a supply route to its Russian allies. Over 80,000 allied troops are trapped in tiny footholds on the rocky Gallipoli peninsula. Weakened by disease and exposure, they are dominated by Turkish artillery and entrenchments on higher ground. Repeated attempts to advance have resulted in mounting casualties. It’s been a disaster so far and, with winter looming, victory is obviously unachievable.Evacuation from the landing beaches could bring yet worse tragedy – bodies drifting in bloody surf, laden boats lashed by enemy fire as they strain towards the safety of allied ships moored in deeper water.But Admiral Sir Nicholas Dawlish, recalled from retirement on the outbreak of war, sees one chance to reduce the risks of evacuation. It will involve a colossal bluff. Drawing on his half century’s experience of conflict, guile, new technology and outright daring, he plans a lightning diversionary campaign at sea, on land and by air. Speed and surprise will be the deciding factors.Despite advancing years, Dawlish’s spirit burns as fiercely as ever. His generation has thrown younger men into a catastrophic war with no end in sight. With whatever time is left to him, he’ll do his damndest to buy some of them a prospect of survival and fulfilment in the years ahead that he won’t see himself.As a boy he entered a navy commanded by men who’d served under Nelson. His career has been built on use of the new, cutting-edge technology of its time – armour, large guns, quickfirers, torpedoes, automatic weapons, steam turbines. As the Great War gathers momentum, new developments – submarines, radio, armoured vehicles, aircraft and ships to carry them to sea – are changing the rules and possibilities of warfare. Under Dawlish, ambitious and thrusting younger men will seize opportunities, and face threats, hitherto undreamed of. Among them are his three-decades younger half-brother Ted, now a Commander in the Royal Naval Air Service, and Ted’s colleagues, who’re creating a new form of naval warfare.As related in an earlier Dawlish Chronicles volume, Britannia’s Wolf, Dawlish once served in the Turkish Navy himself, so he knows he’s now facing tenacious, resolute and fierce foes. It’ll take those same qualities if his forces’ bluff is to succeed before the Gallipoli campaign culminates in a bloodbath.It’s a challenge he’s proud to accept – an older man’s offering of honour to younger generations.This is the thirteenth volume of the Dawlish Chronicles historical naval fiction series – action and adventure set in the age of transition from sail to steam in the late-19th and early-20th Centuries. It can be enjoyed as part of the series or as a standalone story.Why the Dawlish Chronicles series?”I’ve enjoyed historical naval fiction since I was introduced to C.S. Forester’s Hornblower books when I was a boy,” says author Antoine Vanner. “My own novels have as their settings actual events of the international power-games of the period and real-life personalities usually play significant roles. Britannia’s Bluff is no exception and it plays out day-by-day, in late-1915 and early-1916, against the actual events of the final days of the misconceived Gallipoli Campaign. In the series we’ve seen Dawlish progress from service in China at fourteen through challenges on sea and land of his young manhood and middle age.
