The USS Triggerfish--an American World War II submarine--has come home over fifty years after she was presumed lost in the Atlantic. Now her dark gray hulk lies embedded in the sand of a San Diego beach, her conning tower barely above the breaking surf. The submarine is in the wrong ocean, her crew is missing . . . And her half-century absence is a mystery that's about to deepen. For the Triggerfish has returned, but she has not returned alone. Something is inside her -- something unexpected and terrible. To J. D. Stanton, retired Navy captain and historian, falls the task of solving the mystery surrounding a ship possessed. What he is about to encounter will challenge his training, his wits, and his faith. Complicating his mission is a ruthless madman bent on obtaining a secret artifact stolen from the highest levels of the Nazi regime. And poised in the middle is a young woman, a lieutenant who must contend with invisible forces she never knew existed. A Ship Possessed is a story of faith, courage, and determination in the face of unexpected and unknown evil.
Review:
A Ship Possesed is a novel about spiritual struggles. The story is about a former submarine captain who is called back into service because of the appearance of a decades old submarine on a beach. The submarine had been reported missing for about a hundred years and suddenly reappears with no passengers. This book is well written; jumping back and forth from past to present to create a suspensful tale. The only negative thing is that it is slightly typical of a paranormal kind of book but that isn't a big issue. This is the kind of story that is highly believable and possible and is a good start to a great series.
