78-year old Ernie Johnson, experienced yachtsman, dyed-in-the-wool leftie and pacifist, sails toward Ireland aboard The Worker's Paradise. When Customs Inspectors board the boat, they find a huge cache of arms and whisk Ernie away to face the music. His nephew Fred Hope, 'conservation's Che Guevara' with his own reputation as a wild man, visits the old man in prison, only to find that he appears to have forgotten who he is. What follows is a compulsive tale of international treachery, Russian Mafiosi, stolen art treasures and political ghosts from the past - set against the freezing backdrop of the Norwegian Sea in winter.

About the Author:
Sam Llewellyn worked as an editor and fine art dealer until he decided that life was too short. Since then, his novels, published in twelve languages, have earned him a reputation as one of the world's master storytellers and writers of maritime thrillers. Many of his books are founded in personal experience. While researching them he has (amongst other things) chased pirates in the South China Sea, raced big-money multi-hulls in France, and run away from cocaine dealers in Spain.
From AudioFile:
As well as writing novels, Llewellyn has published half a dozen children's books, and works as a journalist for British and American newspapers and magazines such as the London Times and Daily Telegraph. He is a keen gardener, with added interests in ornithology and history and has also sailed yachts - several of which he built himself - all over the world. He now lives with his wife, award-winning children's writer and novelist Karen Wallace, and their two sons in a medieval house in the Welsh border country.
Jonathon Oliver's facility with accents works to good advantage in this tale of international gun-running, whale hunting, contemporary Nazis, and lost Imperial Russian treasure. While Oliver's accents are dead-on, enhancing the multinational nature of the characters, the enunciation is such that the words remain clear while retaining a foreign flavor.
