About the Book
Is rescue on the horizon…?
Britain is at war, and Captain Paul Dexter has a new ship to command: the HMS Loamshire, an old merchant vessel being converted for minelaying.
With a sub-standard crew — the exception being his old mate, engineer Mack Sennett — and severe doubts about the efficiency and safety of the mines they have to lay, Dexter guides the ship to work in the Straits of Denmark.
But disaster soon strikes on a run out to sea as HMS Loamshire becomes stranded, a sitting target for a German U-boat and her deadly torpedoes.
As the ship slips beneath the waves, Dexter finds himself adrift in a lifeboat in the middle of the North Sea.
With freezing weather conditions and few rations, the outlook is bleak.
Who will find them first — the U-boat looking for survivors, or a British rescue ship?
