November-class Submarines inspire a November military book publication

 
Nov. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- November-class submarines – double-hulled with streamlined stern fins and nine compartments. A piece of Russian history. It was the November-class submarines that first inspired author Roger Conway-Hyde. Although a supporter, the retired November-class and Oscar II-class submarines don’t feature in his new novel. Why, you may ask? Because Until Daylight Breaks is set in the future.

In 2017, the Atlantic Ocean harbours a threat to the hegemony that ‘The West’ has so long revelled in. The British Royal Naval and Military Intelligence and its American equivalent must trust in their venerable alliance: to identify and eliminate the unknown threat.

Always a military and submarine aficionado, the concept of a submarine disaster story was further inspired by the Russian’s lost an Oscar II-class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine, the Kursk, in 2000. In bringing the story into the future, Roger developed the concept of a newer class of submarine, this being based upon the Russian’s latest development of the Project 955 Borei-class and his interest in submersibles.

With a family legacy of military service, Roger has had an inside track into the way international relations have developed over the years. His personal working life has taken him from the Far East to the Middle East with careers in logistics, technical support and an international aviation company – through which he gained interest and experience in world conflict and politics. His experiences can be seen in his works, achieving a futuristic novel of global conflict and intrigue that distort the lines of fantasy and a possible frightening truth.

Until Daylight Breaksis the first book by Roger Conway Hyde set in the world of naval intelligence. Russia’s new secret weapon, the submarine SSBN Gorbachev, prowls the oceans leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake, and is set on a deadly collision course with the British and American navies who are in pursuit of the unknown enemy. Will they identify and extinguish the threat in time before world peace is shattered and more lives are lost? An enthralling read that will captivate the reader to the final page.” – Mark Comisini, copy-editor and proofreader
