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". Then, on the even 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.

Autorenporträt
Geoffrey Jenkins was born in 1920 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and educated in the old Transvaal, where he wrote his first book-a legal history-at the age of seventeen. After leaving school he worked as a sub-editor in Zimbabwe, later becoming a newspaperman in both Britain and South Africa. He combined a most successful career in journalism with a life-long interest in the sea, and his knowledge of ships and sailing has provided the background to many of his novels. His first novel, A Twist of Sand, was published in 1959 and immediately became a bestseller; it was later filmed. Eight more most successful novels followed having sold over five million copies in twenty-three different languages. www.geoffrey-jenkins.co.za
