In 1942 a German U-Boat campaign in the Western Atlantic (Operation Drumbeat) came close to severing the vital artery of war supplies between America and Great Britain. Unprepared and ill-equipped America struggled to counter this skilled offensive as U-Boats sent nearly 300 ships and 5000 men to the bottom off the East Coast Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.This history-inspired novel is told from the points of view of two protagonists: Rainer a 32 year-old career Naval officer and highly successful U-Boat commander from the lovely Hanseatic city of Lübeck Germany and Ramón a 24 year-old Mexican-American B-25 pilot who through academic and athletic prowess has successfully navigated the racism of his SW Texas home. The story follows these two warriors through the deadly dance of submarine warfare off the east coast of America the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Rainer a devoted family man is concerned about his familys safety during British air raids and the impact of Nazi indoctrination on his children.

Inexperienced in warfare Ramón is thrust into conflict with the wily U-Boat commander as he deals with his own issues of racism intimacy and trust. Training Mexican pilots in Yucatán and flying with a special anti-submarine attack unit out of Cuba he experiences intrigue betrayal loss and love.
