But as naive young British diplomat, Matt Simmonds, discovers, some alarming surprises can lurk just  below that surface. At a time of increasing tension in the Baltic, Matt’s curiosity leads him into a complex web of conspiracies. He soon finds himself being played by conspirators in Moscow, Washington, Stockholm and even little Latvia. Matt tries to find out the truth behind reports of a mysterious and undetectable Russian submarine in the waters just outside Stockholm.  If the reports are true, the revelations could spark conflict across the Baltic region.  But as Matt discovers, there might be more than one undeclared submarine in those waters, and it seems that their various owners have very different agendas.    Not only does Matt have to find the truth about the submarine threats,  he also has other challenges.  He has to help his Ambassador save the British Embassy from threat of closure, compete with the devious French for an arms contract, and deal with increasingly strange demands from London.  But most importantly for Matt, he wants to win the spirited Annika, while fending off the advances of the voluptuous Marcella.  Who says diplomatic life is boring?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590332948753,"sku":"GOR010150819","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789018307.jpg?v=1751185195"},{"product_id":"dalek-i-loved-you-book-nick-griffiths-9780575079403","title":"Dalek I Loved You","description":"Nick Griffiths watched his first Doctor Who aged four and a bit.

It's a travel book with Doctor Who at its core. Nick travels England and Wales, seeking locations used in the show, both Classic (pre-relaunch) and New.Being an odd kind of show, its locations too are odd. This is no glamorous trip. Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, anyone? A flooded china clay pit in Cornwall? As he travels, so Nick discovers another side to our well-trodden country, which is no less evocative. Then he goes to the pub. As in Dalek I Loved You, the travel writing is backed up by Nick's childhood reminiscences and contemporary musings.A companion website offers photographs from the trip, a Google map of the locations and details of the nearest pub. In this innovative way, readers are invited to follow in his footsteps. Scariest of all, given two other books in the pipeline (both humour books, for Arcturus Publishing), Nick has just 21 days in which to write it. Really. Who Goes There isn't just for Who fans - it's for anyone who fancies a trip off the beaten path. And a very funny book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51113213657361,"sku":"NIN9781910053294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133138235665,"sku":"NLS9781910053294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910053295.jpg?v=1751093116"},{"product_id":"in-the-footsteps-of-harrison-dextrose-book-nick-griffiths-9781906558000","title":"In the Footsteps of Harrison Dextrose","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53117133455633,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53117133553937,"sku":"GOR002716916","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781906558000.jpg?v=1770805931"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-nick-griffiths.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
