Description: On the eve of WWII, a group of submariners brace against the tides of the gathering storm.
In the spring of 1939, four young, untested Ensigns emerge from the unforgiving halls of Annapolis and the US Navy's Submarine School, ready to enter the Silent Service. Alistair, the privileged son and playboy; Fred, the underestimated athlete; Stan, the farm boy with big dreams; and Brad, the admiral's wayward child. Drawn from vastly different worlds, they forge a bond stronger than steel as they prepare for the dangerous battles ahead. Stationed in the cold, unforgiving waters of the North Atlantic at the secret Argentia base in Newfoundland, Canada, the men are tasked with a pre-war mission few will ever know: supporting Britain's struggle against the German U-boats. With outdated equipment, overly cautious commanders, and whispers of sabotage, they navigate the treacherous ocean and freezing conditions to hunt an enemy beneath the waves. And as the shadow of war stretches closer, and a German plot to dramatically disrupt the course of the approaching conflict comes to light, they begin to suspect that their mission is far more risky--and much more pivotal--than any of them could ever have imagined. Plunging readers into the untold stories of the Atlantic theater, George Wallace and Don Keith's Argentia Station is a sweeping tale of bravery, brotherhood, and sacrifice. Great for readers of Tom Clancy and Lee Jackson. _________________ Praise for Argentia Station and the authors: "A page-turning tale of young naval officers and over-the-hill subs in the very early days of WWII."--H.W.
