Overview

"On August 5, 1943, the most famous ocean liner of the Thirties embarked on the most secret voyage of World War Two. Passengers on the Queen Mary included Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his entire team of senior military commanders. The Nazis were unaware of this opportunity to decapitate Britain's civilian and military leadership with a single blow. But what if ... ? When German Intelligence discovers that Winston Churchill will meet with President Roosevelt to plan the invasion of Europe, it activates its prized asset in London. Martin Rikaard, a sleeper agent, devises an operation to penetrate the Queen Mary and signal its location to a waiting U-boat pack. Only one man believes such a mission is feasible: Daniel Gale, a Scotland Yard detective whose suspicions that a routine death is the work of an assassin lead him onto Rikaard's trail. Opposed by a quarry always one step ahead of him, Gale spearheads a nationwide manhunt that climaxes on the vulnerable liner as it races through the submarine-infested waters of the North Atlantic.
