"How did I miss this story?"
This is a republished version of a really good story. The writer (anonymous or Stephen King-hall) really did a great job capturing the enthusiasm most people felt for the first world war. The young officer in the story is assigned trench duty while waiting for a U-Boat assignment, and he gets a good view of what the war means--meaningless death. But once he is able to get to sea aboard his U-boat, he directs his patriotism to sinking enemy ships. I was not aware how fragile the first WW u-boats were, they are a lot like the first areoplanes. When he is on shore he meets an attractive woman and a very believeable and sweet romance begins. There is a lot of give... More > and take, a lot of tactical maneuvering between the officer and his adorable Zoe as he seeks to win her love. Back to sea, under a drunkard captain, and he rises in the ranks until he is a U-boat commander… then disaster strikes, a stunning epiphany!

This is a good war story and a great love story. Very good read!
