It’s mid-September 1942. A German U-boat, U-156, sinks a converted British ocean liner, HMT Laconia, with just two torpedoes. The captain of the sub is horrified to discover that the troop transport he has just sunk was carrying 1,800 Italian POWs, along with British and Polish passengers and crew. Why the sub captain chooses to launch an operation to rescue his surviving Italian allies is perfectly understandable. But why he also chooses to rescue the British and Polish survivors is truly a mystery.

Alvarez is a killing machine of war. He is a rogue, a scoundrel, a ladies' man, and a cold-blooded murderous bastard. The last man you want to go up against but the first you want watching your six. He's the kind of man who would jump into a fight just for the thrill of it. So when a ship is being taken hostage by a murderous group of pirates, he's the first man into the fray, eager to unleash a ravenous carnage of hell. He is a terminator who will literally stop at nothing to come out the victor, even if that means taking you with him.
