A flotilla of mini-submarines set off to sink or cripple the mighty German battleship Tirpitz. Among the men behind this attack was Max Shean from Perth, a volunteer for one of World War II's most daring and hazardous naval missions.
Shean's courage in command of the X-craft submarines in Europe and the Pacific earned him an unrivalled reputation as a leader whose aggressive instincts were always tempered by concern for his crew. He died on June 15, 2009, aged 90.
In the near future a French Submarine find’s itself in a global crisis when a group of terrorists steal a submarine and simulate a nuclear attack,
Commandant Grandchamp and his expert acoustic analysts must defy their own governments orders amid high-stake international tensions and battle to save the world from apocalypse.
