Description
'A tremendous piece of dramatic narrative description-as thrilling a yarn as you are likely to pick up-Magnificent' Sunday Times A sea-story of vivid adventures, In Hazard is set on board the British ship Archimedes which is bound for the Far East from Norfolk (Virginia) via the Panama Canal. When the crew suddenly find themselves in the middle of a violent hurricane the book becomes an absorbing study of how different men behave when faced with danger.
