Falklands war hero Ed Cruse, bounced out of the RAF for one daredevil stunt too many, is given the chance somehow lifting an abandoned Hercules off an Antarctic iceberg. It is an offer he can't afford to refuse. Even if it means joining the shadowy business empire of Scottish adventurer Iain Ward, and his mystery backer, the beautiful Vietnamese La Belle Phuket.
Both Ward and La Belle have their own reasons for returning to the silent ice world of the Weddell Sea - not all of them honourable. And as zero hour approaches in the ocean beyond South Georgia, Cruse must find out the real truth about the mission - before it costs him his life . . .
