For the first time in Russian - a classic novel by Cecil Scott Forester, who became famous for his series of books about the adventures of Captain Hornblower. A book that has been called "perhaps the best adventure novel about the Second World War" (Life) and "the most exciting sea adventure since Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea" (The Guardian). The action takes place at the very beginning of World War II. An international convoy of 37 Allied ships must cross the choppy and dangerous waters of the North Atlantic. Behind the convoy, like a pack of wolves, Nazi submarines follow the trail, ready to sink Allied ships at the first opportunity. George Krause, captain of one of the escort ships, is an old sea dog, but this is his first time taking part in such combat; on his shoulders is not only the responsibility for a valuable cargo, but also the lives of three thousand people... “I recommend Forester’s books to everyone who can read” (Ernest Hemingway). In 2020, a film adaptation of this classic work will be released worldwide. The main role was played by Tom Hanks, who also wrote the script. Produced by Aaron Schneider (“Bury Me Alive,” TV series “The Best”).
