A High Intensity and Spellbinding Fictional War Story

It is autumn 1944. A German submarine makes a daring and dangerous passage into the Arctic ice. Within the U-boat’s steel hull lies, an experiment that if successful will guarantee survival of the Third Reich. Unknown to those onboard events are occurring on the opposite side of the world that will leave them trapped and dying in a frozen hell. In a desperate attempt to save his crew the Captain utilizes the secret cargo that puts his crew in suspended animation. Decades later they awaken to a strange new world. Their only wish is to get home. A new Russian revolution has occurred. The world is on edge, as civil war breaks out in the former Soviet Union. Then during the fighting an American plane is blasted from the sky by Russian missiles. As nations draw their battle lines the world economy withers. A spark is all that will be needed to ignite a total nuclear war. It is now that the U-boat makes her run for home. Confronted by warships, and having no idea the war ended more than a half century ago, the U-boat defends herself. Then other ships begin to disappear. Russia and the United States blame each other as one more step toward war is taken. One man though finds the answer. At the last moment his fantastic story is believed and the two sides agree to each send a submarine to find the U-boat and force her to surrender or send her to the bottom. Can three men from different times, cultures and backgrounds, overcome fear hate and their own demons to save the world?
