It then zooms a bit closer to find a thirty-seven-merchant-ship convoy, accompanied by an escort of four Allied military vessels, on the way from the United States to England, bringing much-needed fuel and supplies. It ultimately zeroes in on the protagonist, Commander George Krause, U.S. Navy, the ranking officer in charge of the convoy. The two destroyers and two corvettes protect the merchant ships by hunting down U-boats using the primitive SONAR equipment of the time. Krause’s leadership qualities have not yet been exercised in combat but will be severely tested during this mission.

Forsyth created this original work as a Christmas gift to his first wife Carrie after she requested a ghost story be written for her. Written on Christmas Day 1974, and published near that time a year later, the idea came while trying to think of a setting away from the typical haunted homes, and seeing planes flying overhead.
