The true test for surviving war lies in the mind, not on the battlefield. Inspired by the author’s own experiences of US military operations during the Vietnam War, Boot is a debut literary novel that charts the journey of marine George Orwell Hill, known affectionately as G.O. by his brothers-in-arms, as he comes to grips with the psychological impacts of war in the jungles and rice paddies of Southeast Asia.

Ende April 1940 kehrt U-68 von seiner ersten Feindfahrt zurück. Die Besatzung ist urlaubsreif, das Boot muss in die Werft, und so rechnet keiner damit, dass ein neuer Einsatz bevorsteht.

Die wenigen deutschen U-Boote werden unverzüglich in die Krisenregion entsandt, auch U-68 erhält den Auslaufbefehl. Kapitänleutnant von Hassel befürchtet das Schlimmste, denn das Einsatzgebiet ist nicht ideal für ein so großes Boot.
