May, 1941. Eric DeHaan, captain of the Dutch freighter Noordendam, sails against the Nazi war machine under secret orders from the Intelligence Division of the British Royal Navy. Disguised as a tramp freighter operating under the flag of a neutral country, the Noordendam has been pressed into service for a clandestine operation on the Swedish coast-a secret mission, a dark voyage. Taut with suspense and pounding with battle scenes, thisnovel  is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible.
