From NY Times and International bestselling author Geoffrey Jenkins comes a thrill-packed adventure novel that takes readers to the bottom of the world. <p/>Orbit Travel's newest cruise was a sell-out. Thrill-seekers wanting a voyage with a difference had rushed to book for the ultimate in high adventure and excitement: a journey through the roaring South Atlantic and sub-Antarctic regions aboard the 'Quest', a converted factory whaling ship, following the path of Admiral Sir James Clark Ross's 1840 voyage of exploration in HMS 'Erebus' and 'Terror'. <p/>Then, on the eve of the 'Quest's' departure, her captain was struck down by an unknown assailant. This was only the first of a series of disasters to overtake them as unknown members of the ship are aboard her for vastly different reasons...the quest for a cache of ex-Nazi gold bullion. <p/>"The terrors of the South Atlantic and a gun-happy villain...a rattling good yarn." - The Daily Telegraph
