In the early hours of October 14, 1942, a German U-boat torpedoed the passenger ferry SS Caribou in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Now, bestselling author Kevin Major reimagines that fateful night and its aftermath, following the passengers in their struggle to survive and the U-boat commander as he continues to patrol the sea. With his characteristically evocative prose style, Major delivers an epic work of historical fiction, detailing a life-and-death conflict in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Land Beyond the Sea is a powerful testament to the acts of destruction and the acts of heroism carried out in the name of home.
