The Last Voyage of the Paramaribo Queen (A Rick Kasten Espionage Novel)

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 remains 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 is alone in his quest to get even with the Nazi thugs who robbed him of the love of his life. Given another assignment in  Lisbon he is looking for payback. The once an amateur spy, now turned professional, Rick is being sent back into the heart of Nazi Germany to torpedo Doenitz's plans and find the men who murdered his Aurelia. 
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.
