Publisher's Synopsis
Young Royal Naval Telegraphist, John "Jack" Edward Woolley, desperately wanted to see the world. What he didn't want, however, was the price he paid to see it. Join Jack on his journey through the relentless high seas in war-torn 1941, over the seascapes and outstanding nature-ridden lands of South Africa. His travels are filled with misadventures, camaraderie, companionship and love, and whilst the war turns him into a battle-hardened sailor, it is love which turns him into a man.
This action-packed, World War II epic portrays precisely what is was like for these young sailors fighting the war at sea. From engaging with German Bombers to meeting his first love, Hell in Paradise is a remarkable story, inspired by true events, that you will never forget.
