Historical
Soon to be the major motion picture Greyhound, a
WWII naval thriller of "high and glittering excitement"
(New York Times) from the author of the legendary
Hornblower series The mission of Commander George Krause of the United States
Navy is to protect a convoy of thirty-seven merchant ships
making their way across the icy North Atlantic from America
to England. There, they will deliver desperately needed
supplies, but only if they can make it through the wolfpack
of German submarines that awaits and outnumbers them in the
perilous seas. For forty eight hours, Krause will play a
desperate cat and mouse game against the submarines,
combating exhaustion, hunger, and thirst to protect fifty
million dollars' worth of cargo and the lives of three
thousand men. Acclaimed as one of the best novels of the
year upon publication in 1955, The Good Shepherd is a
riveting classic of WWII and naval warfare from one of the
20th century's masters of sea stories.
