In the summer of 1941, the United States is only months away from being at war. Despite nearly two years of military build-up, America is ill prepared to combat the conflagration that has spread across Europe and onto the Atlantic's high seas. In Berlin, Admiral Doenitz, head of the Kriegsmarine's deadly U-Boat force is putting the finishing touches on Operation Neuland which will bottle up America's merchant fleet as it tries to come o Britain's aid. Rick Kasten lost the love of his life to Nazi thugs in Lisbon and has been looking to get even. Once an amateur spy now turned professional, Rick is sent back into the heart of Nazi Germany to torpedo the Doenitz's plans. While he is there, he has a bit of payback to exact. The Last Voyage of the Paramaribo Queen sets a stormy course from New York to Lisbon and across the Atlantic to the tranquil Caribbean. But that tranquility is deceptive and short-lived, U-Boats and spies abound on the lush tropical coast of South America. Once again, Rick Kasten finds himself pitted against modern-day pirates who ply the waters of the Spanish Main in search of the black gold that fuels modern warfare.
