Cotton Malone never knew what really happened to his father nearly forty years ago. He knew from the Navy's account, that his fathers submarine had been lost, but there had always been something about that record that hadn't been enough for Cotton. After spending his life in service, he finally asked for the classified report on the USS Blazek hoping to finally find the answer of where his father was and what he had died for. The file had barely been passed to him when trouble started.

Back in Washington DC, two of the white house staffers, Edwin Davis, and Diane McCoy are involved in different ways while Cotton Malone's ex-boss Stephanie Nelle is recruited to join in. The relationship between current Naval Admiral Langford Ramsey, and the missing submarine is something of great interest even to the president of the United States.

This is a non-stop thrilling adventure that takes you from ancient history, Nazis in 1938, US Navy in 1971 to current. Learning history has never been so much fun, with the twists of the fiction and the integration of true history, fun and exciting. Wonderfully written.
