Torpedoing Paradise: A Pilot's Tale of Trinidad & Tobago

By Capt Bruce B. Fisher

A German Submarine, U-161, slips through The Dragon's Mouth, unnoticed by Trinidad coastal defenses, and maneuvers toward Port of Spain. Before disappearing like a ghost, it surfaces again, torpedoes, and mortally wounds the tanker British Consul and Matson Lines SS Mokihana causing pandemonium in the Gulf of Paria. Despite all efforts to curtail concentrated U-Boat activity during those disastrous times of WWII, German U-boats caused havoc throughout the Caribbean. The war ends, but is the danger over? With frequent sojourn to the West Indies and a surprising jog in his career path, Captain Bruce Fisher returns to Trinidad as an expat where he spent his early youth. What he finds is unexpected... and perilous. Marine pilot and master ship handler, Captain Bruce B. Fisher, Massachusetts Maritime Academy grad, with an accomplished and lengthy seagoing career has been homeported in Newport, RI. In this novel, second in the series, weaving fact and fiction, he spins a tale of mystery and intrigue.
