Endeavour, Free

Trial at Monomoy by John Masters

In Cape Cod the temperature was 18 below zero.
A relentless blizzard was creating snowy white mountains of up to twenty feet in height.
This was the kind of storm that stripped a man of all social and moral conventions...stripped him down to the basic, selfish instinct of survival.
Most of the Monomoy folk gathered in the Longships Hotel, hoping for refuge.

Power, fuel, water and communications were giving out.
The tide was coming so fast it threatened to wash the town into the bay.
And the Longships itself was smack in the path of the raging ocean.

First published in the United Kingdom in 1964 by Bengal-Rockland Inc.

John Masters (1914-83) was born in Calcutta. Educated at Wellington and Sandhurst, he returned to India in 1934 to join the Gurkha Rifles. In 1944 he commanded a brigade of Chindits in Burma. Retiring from the army in 1948, Masters then went to America, where he wrote a series of novels set in British India including Bhowani Junction (1954) filmed 1956
