Synopsis: World War II has just broken out. A brilliant Nazi saboteur-- code name: the Otter, son of Abwehr director Wilhelm Canaris-- prowls America. His first masterstroke: capsizing by arson in New York harbor the 1,000-foot Normandie, the super-liner-turned-troopship that could have outrun Germany's U-boats. Naval architect Steven Gates determines to raise the Normandie, put her back into the war. The Otter determines to raise the stakes: sink the Queen Mary, 12,000 troops aboard. Method: a sequestered mini-U-boat. Result: the blocking of New York harbor to Allied ships for the duration. The odds: a thousand to one-- exactly to the Otter's liking. Gates probes the treacherous, upended labyrinth of Normandie's sunken hull, marveling at her ingenious construction, and suddenly discerning the Otter's design for disaster, not only for the Allies' war effort but for himself, as he touches off a manhunt that nearly costs him the love of the only woman who can save him.
