Book ID/图书代码: 00200016B89943
English Summary/英文概要: 1941. A German submarine, U-471, patrols the stormy inhospitable waters of the north Atlantic. It is commanded by Siegfried Lorenz, a maverick SS officer who does not believe in the war he is bound by duty and honour to fight.
U-471 receives instructions to collect two prisoners from a vessel located off the Icelandic coast, and a British submarine commander, Sutherland, and a Norwegian academic, Professor Bjørnar Grimstad, are taken on board. Contact between the prisoners and Lorenz is forbidden, and it transpires that this secret mission has been ordered high up in the SS. It is rumoured that Grimstad is working on a secret weapon that could change the course of the war . . .
Then Sutherland goes rogue, and a series of shocking, brutal events occur. In the aftermath, disturbing things start happening on the boat – it seems that a lethal, supernatural force is stalking the crew, wrestling with Lorenz for control. A thousand feet under the dark, icy waves, it doesn’t matter how loud you scream . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1941年,德国潜艇U-471在北大西洋波涛汹涌的荒凉水域巡逻。它的指挥官是Siegfried Lorenz,一个特立独行的党卫军军官,他不相信这场他于情于理都不得不参加的战斗。
U-471接收指令,要从冰岛海岸附近的船上接收两名俘虏,他们是英国潜艇指挥官Sutherland和挪威学者Bjørnar Grimstad教授。囚犯和Lorenz之间禁止接触,下达这个秘密使命的是党卫军高层。有传言说,Grimstad正在研发的秘密武器有可能改变战争进程……
不久,Sutherland发起动乱,一系列令人震惊的残酷事件拉开帷幕。在此之后,船上开始发生令人不安的事情——似乎有一个致命的超自然力量盯上了船员,和Lorenz争夺着操控权。黑暗而冰冷的海下,无论怎么尖叫也没有人听得见……(LYR)
