From NY Times and International Bestselling author Geoffrey Jenkins

The mysterious and illusive Thompson Island located somewhere between Cape Town and Antarctica and sighted only by sailors twice before in all of history, is rumored to have a rare mineral deposit that could reshape the nuclear and space races of the superpowers.

Bruce Wetherby, a formal naval commander during World War II, is the only man who knows the island’s exact location. But Sir Frederick Upton, a ruthless whaling tycoon knows the island’s hidden secret and he needs Wetherby to guide him there. Under the guise of funding Wetherby’s marine expedition Upton sets his plan in motion. However as one ominous event follows another and Wetherby discovers the true significance of Upton’s plans he becomes involved in a life-and-death struggle with his employer and his desperate crew, and the savage unforgiving icy elements of the South Atlantic.
