1943.
On the Black Sea, the Russians are fighting a desperate battle to wrest control of its waterways from the Germans. But the Russians' one real weakness was on the water: whatever they did, the Germans did it better, and the daring hit-and-run tactics of the E-boats plagued them.

Given command of them at short notice, John Devane soon learns that, even against the vast and raging background of the Eastern Front, war could still be a personal duel between individuals.
