DANGEROUS WATERS
A novel by Paul Collins
"This Newfoundland "war story", based largely on fact, but imaginatively
recast as fiction, is exciting, suspenseful, and convincingly realistic
in its use of historical and technical detail. Paul Collins has a sure grasp
of the storyteller's art."
- Paul Bowdring
Author The Roncesvalles Pass
"The U-boat creaked and groaned under the intense pressure as she sank deeper
and the hull compressed. The deck plates heaved upwards under their feet,
warping the ladder to the conning tower. A rivet shot across the control room
with a loud report, smashing the glass fact of the depth gauge in front of the
planesmen. A sudden crump sounded overhead. one of the pressure-tight
containers in the casing had imploded. Men glanced furtively at each other in
the faint light, loath to show their fear least it case a panic."
Whether called Sea Wolves or Raiders of the Deep, they prowled
the waters around Newfoundland... and some never left. Now iron coffins, they
lie forgotten, rusting on the seabed along with their victims. The debris of
war, broken remnants of mankind's greatest conflict.
Dangerous Waters is not just another war story. it is a novel
about the human race, at its best and worst, told from both sides, during one of the
darkest periods in modern history.
