MILITARY VETERAN AND FORMER COMMERCIAL DIVER JOHN MANNOCKDELIVERS A POWERFUL AND COMPELLING NOVEL-ABOUT A GERMAN SUBMARINE CREW CAUGHT ON AMERICAN GROUND.... At the height of World War II, a Nazi U-boat preys upon Allied shipping along the southeast coast of the U. S. But its days are numbered. Caught refueling in the open Atlantic off Cuba, the U-113 is strafed and depth-charged by American patrol bombers and narrowly avoids a fatal plummet into the abyss.... Severely damaged and with supplies running low, the U-boat limps northward toward the coastal bayous of Louisiana-where the crew's only chance of survival rests in the hands of an isolated clan of wary Cajun trappers whose dangerous leader recognizes no government and no war. There, in the heart of the enemy homeland, Nazi gold can buy temporary sanctuary. But gold can also buy betrayal...."Unforgettable...deserves a place beside classics like Das Boot and A Farewell to Arms."-Joe Buff, Author of Tidal Rip
