About “Twelve Seconds to Live”

The book follows three Royal Navy personnel involved in mine clearance operations during World War II, focusing on their dangerous missions and personal struggles. Lieutenant-Commander David Masters, haunted by the loss of his submarine, defuses mines on land and trains others, while Lieutenant Chris Foley faces a mine-laying operation under threat from enemy E-boats, and Sub-Lieutenant Michael Lincoln confronts a booby-trap with only twelve seconds remaining before detonation.
