During a visit to Hamburg in the 1930s, Jack Clarke discovers through a distant relative that the Germans have built a formidable super-U-cruiser. He informs British intelligence but this stretches his family loyalties to breaking point.

Woodman considered one of the strongest voices in nautical fiction today. He lives in England.
The Battle of Britain in WWII calls Captain Jack Clark to the Barent Sea in the North Atlantic. Commanding a secret antisubmarine whaler named SHERBA, Clark seeks a new "super U-boat" called a submarine cruiser. The ship and the U-boat meet ten hours into the story for the first action, and battle ensues. Speaking with British upper-class haughtiness, Michael Tudor Barnes frosts his characters with Norwegian, German, and Irish accents. His deep voice, however, makes all the women sound androgynous and hirsute. The slow pace of both the story and the reader could effect a sure cure for the worst case of insomnia.
