Arctic Star - Author Tom Palmer

An unforgettable survival story set in the frozen seas of WWII.

Winter, 1943. Three teenage Royal Navy recruits—Frank, Joseph and Stephen—embark on a dangerous mission: to protect a convoy delivering supplies to Russia across the icy Arctic. Facing brutal storms, freezing temperatures, and enemy attacks by sea and air, the boys must rely on courage, loyalty and each other to survive. But not everyone will make it home.

Based on the true story of the Arctic Convoys, Arctic Star is a powerful and action-packed wartime novel by multi-award-winning author Tom Palmer.
