It is the darkest days of World War II and the San Andreas, a Red Cross medical ship carriying wounded is on a perilous voyage from Halifax to Aberdeen. The ship is only a short distance out from port when a mysterious power failure knocks out the lights identifying her as a hospital transport and - without warning- she is under siege by a devastating attack of German war planes and U-boats.
This exciting book is the first place where the repayment of WW2 Lend-Lease by USSR has come to my attention.
Good MacLean story.
A great and exiting story
