The Coffin Ship — Peter Tonkin

'A master of seagoing adventure.' Clive CusslerThe giant supertanker Prometheus sits at anchor in the Persian Gulf, holding 250,000 tons of crude oil. Somewhere on board is a crew member who is determined that the ship not make it to its destination in Europe. As the ship travels through the Indian Ocean, around South Africa, through the Atlantic and into the English Channel, only Captain Richard Mariner can battle subterfuge, sabotage and the elements to see the ship safely to port.
