Hungry as the Sea
By: Wilbur Smith
Synopsis:
'Nick went head down, finning desperately to catch the swirling body
which tumbled like a leaf in high wind, He had a fleeting glimpse of
Baker's face, contorted with terror and lack of breath, the glass visor
of his helmet already swamping with icy water as the pressure spurted
through the non-return valve. The Chief's headset microphone squealed
once and then went dead as the water shorted it out.'
Robbed of his wife and ousted from his huge shipping empire, Nick Berg
is hell-bent on vengeance. It is the sea which gives him his
opportunity. When his arch-rival's luxury liner is trapped in the
tempestuous Antarctic, Nick stakes all to pit his powerful salvage tug
the Warlock in a desperate race against time and the elements.

Wilbur Smith was born in Central Africa in 1933. He was educated at
Michaelhouse and Rhodes University.
He became a full-time writer in 1964 after the successful publication of
When the Lion Feeds, and has since written twenty-three novels,
meticulously researched on his numerous expeditions worldwide.
He normally travels from November to February, often spending a month
skiing in Switzerland, and visiting Australia and New Zealand for sea
fishing. During his summer break, he visits environments as diverse as
Alaska and the dwindling wilderness of the African interior.
