Eternal Contol Premise

When a submarine does not return from a patrol and the navy has no evidence of what happened, they list that sub as "on eternal patrol."

This book is well researched and uses many of the details associated with two Gato Class submarines the Navy has listed as, "on eternal patrol." It also answers the question of what happens if you go back in time a kill your grandfather.

While looking for a sunken ship with a cargo of lost Nazi gold, Dr. George Washington witnesses a meteor crash to earth. The impact opens a time-gate and transports him back to World War II.

During a present day marine salvage operation, the crew picks up a digital signal from a modern Navy transponder. They find the signal is coming from a sunken submarine underneath 60 years of sand and marine growth.

Trapped in 1943, George is picked up by an American sub and treated as a German spy. To protect his historical timeline, he refuses to give advanced information about the war. Only when faced with an execution, he divulges the Allies have captured enigma machines.

While excavating the wreck, the crew accidentally release a torpedo headed to the surface on a direct course with their research ship. The diver still inside the sunken American submarine finds the ship’s log only the entries are all in German.

Treated as part of the crew, George builds suspicions that his fellow Americans onboard the sub may not be who they claim. One night while standing on the deck with the rest of the crew, he sees a satellite travel across the clear star filled sky.
He realizes, he has changed his historical timeline.
