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.
