Ltd, retail price $3.50. 298 pp. This thriller is set against the chilling vastness of the raging Atlantic, the story traces the long and perilous voyage of Submarine U5Ol, her cargo and her crew. In the last days of the Third Reich a shipment of vital importance had to make the voyage from the
Fatherland to South America. The orders had come direct from Martin Bormann himself. The final destination of the mystery shipment is the Argentine; the refuge f.or Nazis such as S.S. killer Ernst Wohldorf.

The denouement is unexpected but satisfying to the reader.
