2.500 years ago, Plato described the ancient island civilisation of Atlantis, which perished as it sank beneath the sea. It was never thought to be more than a legend. During a stormy night in October 1944, U-boat 303 left Germany for Argentina. Its mysterious cargo, protected by the Nazi SS and the occult Thule Society, had the potential to win the Second World War, but the submarine never made it to its destination. More than half a century later, its lethal cargo has fallen into the hands of terrorists. SAS veteran Andrew Sterling, now driving a desk at ‘The Firm’, is tasked with the investigation. In a race against time through The Azores, Austria, Mexico and Antarctica, and with the help of archaeologist Fiona Keane, he must unravel the deadly mystery, before an ancient weapon is unleashed on the world.
