My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
During World War II, the U-94 is seemingly unbeatable and takes on large convoys by itself. It turns out the boat has help, a water sprite who is infatuated with it's captain who equally home on the sea and infatuated with his "Fraulein Faerie". However their combined success comes to an end when they are trapped by two convoys and the sprite sacrifices herself to save her beloved captain. Yet the story ends happily 40 years later after the sprite reforms herself, she finally convinces her man to join her in the sea.
This was the perfect blend of quasi-history and fantasy unlike some stories that are just fun to read.
