Produktbeschreibung

Eric Scheer commanded U-129 during the latter half of World War Two. He was a highly respected submarine commander with accolades, citations and awards that go with a man driven to succeed for his beloved Germany. As the allies and General Alfred Jodl sign the armistice that ends the war, a set of occurrences outside of Eric's control sees his submarine attacked and presumed sunk with no records of where or how.

Move forward seventy-five years and Eric's extremely wealthy great-granddaughter, Evette, decides it is time to find out what happened to Eric and his U-boat. She has sketchy information that leads her to believe something or someone attacked it, but she has no location or the circumstances as to why. She must rely on archives that are still under lock and key and recorded eyewitness accounts of an explosion at sea.

The reason Evette wants to find her great-grandfather's U-boat is to give her great-grandmother, Hanna, some closure as to what happened to her beloved Eric. She also wishes to bring it back to the surface and open it up as a maritime museum dedicated to the men who served in such machines during the war.

What results is something nobody could have foreseen, and Evette's great-grandmother's words come back to haunt her: You should be aware that disturbing the dead can bring about consequences, Evette, unforeseen consequences that can have dire results. The dead should be left alone for eternity, it's not right to dig them up.

Autorenporträt

Stephen. L. West (writing as Stephen J Bannister) was born in the UK but moved to South Australia in the mid-sixties growing up mainly in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide. At seventeen he enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy where he learnt his trade. Whilst still serving, he married Trudi in nineteen eighty. After a ten-year career he joined the New South Wales Fire Brigades before the family, now four with two children, decided to move back to South Australia.

His writing career stared in the late nineteen-eighties creating technical manuals which soon led to looking further afield and dabbling in fiction. As an amateur astronomer with a lot of interest in other sciences, he decided to write his first science fiction novel.

'I had this thing going around and around inside my head so I decided one day to get it out of there and onto paper.'

Stephen and Trudi still live in South Australia, in the mid-north and are both involved with the Country Fire Service, Stephen as a firefighter and Trudi as a financial coordinator. Their family has expanded to six grandchildren (with more to come).
