Inhaltsangabe

As Hitler’s Wermacht crushes Europe, Nazi saboteurs prepare to strike at America’s heartland from beneath the waters of the Great Lakes.
Their weapon – a U-boat – smuggled piece-by-piece and reassembled in a secret underground factory. But a freak accident forces the infiltrators to abandon the sub just before its launch.
Eight decades later, 16-year-old Charlie LeClair discovers the Last U-boat—deep beneath his backyard on the shores of Lake Erie.
Can Charlie and his friends bring the sub to life? Can they solve the mystery of how the Nazis planned to launch it from far above the lake’s waters? Can he do it without getting caught?
The answer depends on whether his parents, his friends, a budding romance, the US Navy, an army of terrorists, and a pair of criminal thugs can stop him.

History, adventure, science fiction, and discovery combine in an exciting and fast-paced read that both young and old readers will enjoy. It's a fun story with lots of twists and turns that's been described as "Goonies meets Indiana Jones."
