✦ Synopsis

One U-boat against one destroyer would have been a fair if
deadly match. But Captain John Murrells H.M.S. Hecate was towing a
crippled tanker whose cargo was as dangerous as it was precious four million
gallons of high-octane gas!

The U-boat commander was desperate: his career depended on
sinking the tanker. If he failed, the Luftwaffe would send new long-range
Heinkels to destroy the Hecate and her tow.

Murrells cunning fight against incredible odds soon became
a nightmarish eternity of cat-and-mouse moves and countermoves. His agonizing
duel to the death makes this one of the most brilliant and memorable sea sagas
to come out of World War II.

About the author:Denys Arthur Rayner was a Royal Navy officer who fought throughout the Battle of the Atlantic. After intensive war service at sea, Rayner became a writer, a farmer, and a successful designer and builder of small sailing craft.
