This is John Harris’ classic war novel of espionage in the most
extreme of situations. An essential flight from France leaves the crew
of RAF Hudson missing, and somewhere in the North Sea four men cling to a
dinghy, praying for rescue before exposure kills them or the enemy
finds them. One man is critically injured; another (a rocket expert) is
carrying a briefcase stuffed with vital secrets. As time begins to run
out each man yearns to evade capture. This story charts the daring and
courage of these men, their rescuers and a breathtaking mission with the
most awesome of consequences.
