THIS IS the story of a ship in time of war, a ship in her finest hours, engaged in the work for which she was built, protecting the vital lifeline of supplies against the King's enemies.
This is the story of that most hazardous of all voyages in war-the perilous convoy to Russia through the Northern seas.
This is, above all, the story of a gallant ship's company, of men driven to the limit of human endurance and beyond, battered by the elements, sought and fought by the enemy with grim resolution and every diabolical device. The characters are memorable and typical of the Navy, unforgettable in their living and in their dying, from the Admiral down to the latest joined ship's boy.
This is a novel which commands attention, for the manner of its telling and for the moving and timely recalling of our debt to those brave men who were once again our sure shield.
