BOOK II. After a harrowing transit north from Canada, surviving
ships of Allied Lend-Lease convoy PQ20 limp into Kola Bay, just
north of grim Murmansk. There - poorly protected by scarce Coastal
Artillery or Soviet Navy ships not detailed to other business
against Nazi forces just kilometers away in occupied Norway - the
merchant ships wait for Russian pilots to bring them into port.
Even if the Germans do not attack this deepening December day,
PQ20's vessels face the new danger of being moored in a port for
unlading, incapable of dispersing. Every ship's master and crew
want to "deliver the goods," and leave this target whose bull's eye
they so nicely augment. It is a wishful thought that cannot be, for
the Soviet hosts are hampered by equipment problems, continual
threat of enemy air attacks - and the crushing weight of Arctic
winter. However, the "down-time" is not wasted: cargo handling
requires paperwork and liaison with port authorities. It is a rare
commonality between Capitalist nd Socialist "partners," defeating
he fascist enemy being another. Meanwhile, ships with Armed Guard
detachments embarked brave the harsh weather as they maintain their
AAA weapons and small arms, and help their civilian seamen de-ice
just about everything outside the ships' skins. Amid the ongoing
bad dream of helpless vulnerability, sparks of hope and humanity
persist: Hitler cannot destroy Russian nationalism - and, after a
long, horrible night of snow and suffering, the sailor's home may
yet be found at a rainbow's end....
