With Honour in Battle

Descripton: At the end of 1944, Korvettenkapitän Hans Kruger, Germany's top U-boat ace, is exhausted and in need of rest. Instead, he is given command of U-2317, an experimental U-boat with a temperamental propulsion system that promises virtual immunity from attack, but also carries the potential of blowing up at any moment. Now Kruger must contend with a triumphant enemy, as well as jealous superiors and the intrusion of the war into his shattered personal life. First published 2001.
