About this audiobook
It’s August 1944 and as the Allied forces gain momentum in Europe, a group of loyal German expatriates trapped in Brazil hatch a desperate plan to return to the Motherland. Twenty-seven of them crowd aboard a 19th century, three-mast schooner, the Deutschland in a desperate journey to return home. They must cross five thousand miles of rough sea, and slip past both the American and British navies.
A captured U-boat ace, a female American doctor caught up in the nightmare, a veteran gun boat commander and a rear admiral determined to get back into the action. Allies and enemies, men and women, the hunters and the haunted all drawn inescapably into the eye of the storm.
“The waves crash across the decks so wildly you will find yourself sinking into your armchair for protection.” —Philadelphia Bulletin

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'd never read any Jack Higgins and found this lying around a beach house, so picked it up and started reading; terrifically well paced with well delineated characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a bad story but I did have a hard time getting into the book at first which is surprising for me because it takes place in the WWII era. If you don't know the ins and out of sailing terms be prepared to look things up if you want to understand parts of the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A seafaring adventure in which vessels on both sides of the Second World War find a storm to be the greater enemy. Subplots include the doomed love of a German sailor for a nun and backstories for some of the characters aboard the wrecked tall ship and its rescuers. In many ways a large part of the story is a reworking of A Game For Heroes (Higgins writing as James Graham, 1970).
