"If you thought the epic sea war of the 1940s meant the North Atlantic or the Pacific, think again. The coast and waters around the southern tip of Africa also swirled with menace. Fox uses his gift for evocative description and eye for striking detail to weave an exhilarating story, bringing to life the sights, sounds and mix of people pitched into hostilities at sea - as well as on land." Bill Nasson, author of South Africa at War, 1939-1945
Novelist and travel writer Justin Fox's books include the novels Whoever Fears the Sea and The Cape Raider as well as Place, South African literary journeys. He lives in Cape Town.
