His toughest challenge. His final hope.
Once the envied and admired chairman of one of the world’s most successful shipping consortiums, Nick Berg now finds himself completely alone. His long-time nemesis, Duncan Alexander, has schemed to take his job, alienated him from his wife and son, and stolen his fortune.
Nick’s only hope now is the Warlock, a top-of-the-range salvage boat that will be his final gamble. When an SOS call comes in Nick finds himself in a race against time – one of his former company’s Antarctic cruisers is stranded, sinking in frozen wastelands in a terrible storm.
But this is no accident, and as Nick fights to save the lives of the six hundred people on board he has no idea that they are pawns in a game concocted by Duncan Alexander. And it’s not just Nick he wants to ruin – the future of his former company and even the ocean itself is under threat. As the storm sweeps in, can Nick save them all before it’s too late?

Good story well written, but I like this author
by Geoff Howson
Very long book encompassing several stories, but well written and held my interest comfortably. Wilbur Smith is much loved and respected.
by Sheppard’s Pie
Classic gripping Wilbur Smith. Great plot; love, integrity and loyalty trump greed and dishonesty in every chapter.
A shame this fiction doesn’t transfer to real life for the rich and powerful.
by Mr P J Clifford
I couldn’t put the book down, very compelling reading! I had almost forgotten how good a storyteller Wilbur Smith is until I started to read this tale of drama in the shipping world!

I have read everyone of wilbur smith books and this one is as good a one as any other. What a pity he is not still alive to write more. He is surely missed as an author.
by Alan W S Bell
Once again Wilbur Smith has proved without doubt that he is up there with the best storytellers in the world.
My only regret is that I have read and enjoyed most of his work leaving little to look forward to
by Country Boy
Read W S many times but to me this was an ordeal to Read.
by Anniemiff
I have read this book at least six times over many years and I enjoyed it every bit as much this time as the first time I read it. One of Wilbur Smith’s best books, if not the best! It is full of strong characters and wonderfully descriptive passages which bring the locations and action to life. A thrilling read.
