First I should say that I read a paperback edition of this book which had this cover. First written in 1980, there are certain parts of the story were suitable for the time would be so vastly different in 2023 as to make such a situation virtually impossible. The book starts with a search for the missing ship during a terrible storm. Once it is actually found, this discovered empty with no clue as to where passengers and staff might be.
The author then takes us back go the beginning and sets up the scene. Word is out that something is brewing between some hidden Nazi's and the Paraguayan and Uruguayan leadership. An effort begins to capture the Nazi's and return power to the resistance in both countries. How this will be done and what happens throughout makes up the bulk ofcthe novel. There are surprises along the way and I did not see them all coming. This would probably make a great action movie!
