Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German freighter Ergenstrasse is lying in Sydney harbour when war breaks out. Her master, Karl Ehrlich, has two options. To scuttle his battered old vessel, or to pit his skill and her rusty eight thousand tons against the British naval blockade—and run for home. For Ehrlich there is no choice, and the Ergenstrasse begins her impossible voyage. Across the Pacific to Norway, via Chile, Cape Horn and Greenland. Ehrlich’s indomitable spirit and brilliant seamanship are nearly a match for the tremendous odds against him. But he has not reckoned on the enemy within... “One long thrill...the clash of character is convincing and the variety of incident remarkable. A grand story.”—Sir Compton Mackenzie “A tough, exciting adventure story.”—Observer
