Those in Peril – James Follett

It's 1941 and the Royal Navy have dealt a massive blow to Hitler's campaign in the South Atlantic by sinking his U-Boat ships.

For Ernst Kessler, commander of U-395, this creates a near impossible situation - he's stranded six thousand miles from home, without fuel or supplies - responsible for hundreds of civilian survivors in lifeboats and an essential consignment of Brazilian quartz that was destined for Britain.

Kessler knows that he must pull off the most hazardous rescue in maritime history - an impossible journey, towing the lifeboats and their survivors a quarter of the way around the world.

Those in Peril is a gripping, real life story, in which the true enemy is the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
