Synopsis
"This remarkable novel should serve as an eye-opener for anyone who thinks there is nowhere left to go with the World War II novel." - starred and featured, Booklist
In January 1942, the Royal Navy sends a small force on a secret mission to Antarctica. Three months later, their camp is shelled by a German U-boat. With shelter and supplies gone, completely cut off from the outside world, three survivors struggle to complete their task and endure for the many months that must pass until help can reach them. Only one man succeeds, and he claims both to have lost his memory and to long to return to his Antarctic purgatory. Why?
