    Set in Norway during the German invasion in WW II, the plot focuses on the last of the large sailing ships left in the world and their use in WW II by both sides. The British send the Oulu to Norway to spy on German activities and to warn the Royal Navy when the prisoners from the German Raider Altmark arrive in the area so the RN can attempt a rescue.Soon the Germans invade Norway and Magnusson, the British hero, is on the run with ship and crew. The many harrowing escapes he and his crew have makes for a fast moving story with lots of sailing information and Norwegian culture thrown in. The crew originally is made up of Finns trying to get home to Finland and unaware of the true nature of the voyage but when they flee for home, Norwegians and a Pole join the crew and take their anger and hate out on any German soldier they come across.The non stop action will keep you turning the pages.
