Such was Count Felix von Luckner's fearsome reputation, he paralysed Allied Atlantic shipping for months and earned for himself the
grim alias, the Sea Devil. In this story, what transpires between von Luckner and Jock is pure fiction, but the general circumstances surrounding the story are true. Von Luckner did end up in a New Zealand seething with anti-German sentiment, and the man and boy were thrown together in a daring shipboard saga. What happens when a small boy who knows little of the world, is trapped in the company of a giant of a man with a reputation for being a ruthless killer? Should he survive, surely that boy's life could never be the same. Featured in the 4 April 2016 New Zealand Newsletter.
