A striking and human novel about the Second World War told from the point of view of a German soldier on the Eastern front

The offices of Britain's favourite tabloid The Daily Beast, are set on high terrorism alert in this compelling satirical debut.

In August 1914, as World War I looms, Sir Ernest Shackleton embarks on a bold expedition to cross Antarctica on foot, accompanied by 69 sled dogs and a stowaway, 17-year-old Merce Blackboro. Their ship, the Endurance, becomes trapped in pack ice, leading to a harrowing journey of survival and hope for rescue.
