Submerged — Thomas F. Monteleone

A horror thriller in the tradition of Ken Follett and H.P. Lovecraft.

The submarine U-5001 was a Nazi secret weapon that could have changed the course of World War II. Kapitaenleutnant Erich Heinz Bruckner commanded the U-boat on its only mission -- a voyage that transported him and his crew to a place of wonder ... and horror.

Dexter McCauley is a present-day ex-Navy diver who finds the only evidence of the U-5001's existence, which drives him to discover its original, terrifying mission.

Submerged follows both men in a narrative that spans generations, echoing the tales of Lovecraft at their most strange. As the paths of these men's lives converge, a third element surfaces to influence their decisions -- decisions that will shape the future of civilization in ways never imagined.
