A pair of former industrial and government contract engineers from Florida, Greg and Harry, our lead characters, are called to Washington by a Senator that is their old friend and asked to do some research probing the WWII German war records at the University of Leipzig in East Germany. What the Senator finally reveals is that a WWII German submarine has been located in the Hudson River just north of New York City near West Point. How the sub got there takes our team on a path from the German shipyard that built the sub circa 1944 to the Hudson River. With the help of the Senator a new Navy Bureau is formed, the Archival Research Bureau, and Greg and Harry are hired to run the Bureau. The Navy's primary reason for hiring our non-government team to run the new Bureau is to distance the Navy and political Washington from the potential negative PR if the submarine turns to be booby trapped, is operated by a foreign government as a listening post, or just because a WWII German submarine is in the Hudson River 50 years after the end of the war which is an embarrassment unto itself. Along the way the sub comes alive and a sea chase goes from New York City to a point south. Woven into the story is how the sub was used in 1945 to smuggle part of the Third Reich Central Bank gold reserve out of Germany at the end of the war. The sub turns out to be one that was designed to transport high German government officials and cargo out of Germany if the war goes bad for Germany.
