From www.radiocaroline.org.uk: "Steve Conway tells of his time aboard the Ross Revenge: the excitement, and danger, of living on board ship for long spells, the constant challenge faced by the crew of keeping complex electronic equipment working in sometimes treacherous conditions and the efforts to rebuild the radio station following the collapse of the ships 300 foot broadcast tower. As well as recounting the strange and isolated lifestyle and the camaraderie of working alongside people who, like him, were completely committed to the radio station, Steve tells of many events behind the scenes that helped or hindered the ship and its crew in those final years. In the dramatic climax to the book, he tells of the final violent storm, and of how he and his few remaining companions feared drowning after the ship ran aground on the notorious Goodwin Sands in hurricane-force winds in November 1991."
