Award-winning thriller and historical crime writer F.R. Tallis heads into supernatural waters with his new novel. The Passenger is an atmospheric and highly worrying tale set in and around a German U-Boat in 1941. Despite Lothar-Gunther Bucheim’s acclaimed novel Das Boot (and the film based upon it) the story of the German side of the U-boat campaigns of WWII is relatively unknown. It’s horrifying stuff. The U-Boat war was one of squalor, constant stress, crushing danger and moments of sheer terror. Tallis has done his research and his hero Captain Lorenz and his crew live out vividly described and tellingly detailed lives in a cramped, creaking and stinking submarine that is more claustrophobic and horribly atmospheric than any haunted house. For this is no straightforward war novel. A secret mission to pick up a captured British Naval captain and a Norwegian academic soon goes awry, the voyage runs into bad luck and Lorenz and his crew begin to experience dreams and terrors that can’t be dreams. The melding of dream and reality, the sudden shock of the supernatural is combined with the grime and danger of the war brilliantly. The war itself intrudes suddenly and in ways that sometimes seem disconnected but the focus here is on the nature of the supernatural threat they must face. The troubled Lorenz is an engaging companion through this nightmare and The Passenger will certainly take fans of WWII naval fiction and fans of James Herbert alike for a chilling and deep ride into the unknown. ~ Simon Spanton
