The Wolf of Cattaro: A World War I Novel

By Mr. Deke D. Wagner

U-BOAT WARFARE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA NEWLY BREVETTED Kapitänleutnant Hans-Joachim Wolf boards a train bound for Austria-Hungary with a heavy heart. Not only does he leave behind his precious UB-40 and her crew and all the fine men of the Flanders Flotilla, but Nurse Käte as well. Before saying farewell, Käte gives Wolf her address at the hospital, so he can write to her once he arrives at Cattaro, the forward U-boat base of the Pola Flotilla. A new boat and a veteran crew await him--a bigger, faster, more heavily armed U-boat manned with a crew of thirty-six well-trained officers and sailors. Operating from Cattaro, Wolf wreaks havoc on the Italian and British fleets, doggedly patrolling the Mediterranean Sea and Gibraltar, as well as the coastlines of Italy, Egypt, and Spain. But disaster strikes when his U-boat is spotted one cold October morning by an Italian destroyer. What happens afterward has a profound affect on Wolf's life as well as his career in the U-bootwaffe. But the temporary setback only emboldens the young U-boat Kapitän to keep on fighting. As the war rages on in the deadlocked trenches of the Western Front and Italy, Wolf finally takes command of a brand-new boat, the UB-105. The crew is green but the officer's are veterans. Germany's only hope for breaking the blockade is the daring young Kapitän Wolf and his mighty little U-boat. THE EPIC SEQUEL TO WOLF BENEATH THE WAVES
