In an exciting sequel to “The Hunt for the Peggy C,” Capt. Jake Rogers returns to the North Atlantic as commander of a US Liberty ship with some of his crew from the sunken Peggy C.
But disaster strikes, and they end up shipwrecked in Ireland. There Rogers learns from Dutch sailors that the Nazis have arrested the father of the love of his life, Miriam Maduro, and are about to deport him to a concentration camp.
They sneak back into Holland aboard a gun-running ship from neutral Ireland and contact a resistance group to help them. Everything goes according to plan until a shocking discovery leaves them stranded in Holland and forces them to flee for their lives across Nazi-occupied Europe.
They struggle to find other resistance groups and escape organizations to help them. But informants, imposters, and double agents are everywhere. And with a huge reward on their heads, they can never be sure who to trust. To make matters worse, a giant Dutch bounty hunter is in hot pursuit.
As they get close to their goal, another shocking surprise blocks their way. Rogers has to come up with one more crazy scheme to save them. It has little chance of working.
