Publisher's Synopsis
With a hurricane raging and their cargo on fire, the crew of the oil tanker Almax Venturer has no choice but to abandon ship. For young Peter Bush, on his very first voyage, what happens next is a complete nightmare. Washed up on an uninhabited Antarctic island, the survivors can only hope that somewhere out there in the Southern Ocean a ship will hear their Mayday signal. But then the smoke of a fire is sighted, one of the crew mysteriously disappears and Peter comes face to face with a survivor from a WW2 U-boat. He is mad, he is armed and he is extremely dangerous.
