Audio Book Description:
For John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, deep wreck diving was more than a sport.Testing themselves against treacherous currents, braving depths that inducedhallucinatory effects, they pushed themselves to their limits and beyond, brushing against death more than once in the rusting hulks of sunkenships. But in the fall of 1991,not even these courageous divers were prepared for what they found 230 feet below the surface, in the frigidAtlantic waters sixty miles offthe coast of New Jersey: A World War II German U-boat, its ruined interior a macabrewasteland of twisted metal,tangled wires, and human bones-all buried under decades ofaccumulated sediment. No identifying marks were visibleon the submarine or the fewartifacts that Chatterton and Kohler brought to the surface.No historian, expert, or government had a clue as to which U-boat the men had found. Infact, the official records all agreed that there simply couldno be a sunken U-boat and crewat that location. Over the next six years, an elite team ofdivers embarked on a quest to solve the mystery. Chattertonand Kohler, at first bitter rivals, would be drawn into a friendship that deepened to analmost mystical bond of brotherhood. As the men`s marriages frayed under the pressure ofa shared obsession, their dives grew more daring, and eachrealized that he was hunting more than the identities of a U-boat and its nameless crew.
