Berlin, April 1945. The war is almost over. The escape has already begun. As Soviet troops close in on Berlin, a powerful man within the Nazi hierarchy disappears behind a carefully constructed plan. Protected by a mysterious secret organization, he is preparing to escape the collapsing Reich-and to take something with him that must never fall into Allied hands. His plan depends on a German U-boat unlike any other. Commander Walter Boldt has no idea what his submarine is carrying, or why he has been chosen. Neither do the commanders of the other U-boats waiting at scattered positions across the Atlantic. But one by one, they are drawn into a deadly game whose rules they do not know. Then the trail goes cold. Miami. Present day. Paul Willis, a former Navy SEAL turned treasure hunter, discovers a series of clues pointing back to a voyage that officially should have ended with the war. With Kate at his side, Paul begins to reconstruct the mysterious journey of the U-XXX-and discovers that the further he follows the trail, the less certain the past becomes. What was the submarine really carrying? Who was behind its mission? And where did it finally disappear? From the ruins of Berlin to the depths of the Atlantic and the sun-drenched waters of Miami, U-XXX moves between past and present in a race to uncover a secret that history never explained. History left the clues. Someone buried the truth.
