Description
The novel that launched the astonishing career of one of the 20th century’s greatest writers of action and suspense is an acclaimed classic of heroism and the sea in World War II. Constant patrols have pushed the crew of HMS Ulysses beyond the limits of endurance, yet they must put to sea again to escort a vital supply convoy heading for Murmansk. As they head into the frozen waters, they face fierce Arctic weather, airborne attacks, German ships and the feared U-boats, all determined to destroy the convoy. With each day threatening another sudden attack and increasing hardships aboard the frozen ship, Ulysses suffers greater damage while protecting the other vessels. Soon, the journey becomes a tense and deadly game of cat and mouse between the crippled cruiser and her silent pursuers.
