With the Axis in its death throes, Japan pleads with Germany for help to defeat their mutual enemy, the United States. Adolf Hitler approves a secret plan, code-named Kondor, for a U-boat to deliver biological weapons to Japan for use against American forces. In exchange, the Japanese will give Hitler gold bullion which the Reich needs to mount a final stand against the Allies.
Kaptäinleutnant Horst Bekker, Germany’s top U-boat skipper is ordered to undertake the mission. A battered and cynical survivor of the U-boat wars, Bekker mourns his wife and daughter killed in a Berlin air raid, and is haunted by guilt over their deaths and his survival. He agonizes over issues of loyalty to a Führer and a regime he despises, and doubts the morality of a scheme to win the war by unleashing deadly strains of anthrax and plague. Nevertheless, Bekker and his crew sail for Japan aboard the U 233.
Alerted to the Nazi plan, the Allies dispatch a task force to find and destroy Bekker’s U boat and its deadly cargo. When they learn that a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest levels of Britain’s MI-6, the discovery sets off a race to prevent the cargo from falling into Russian hands.
Hunted by American, British and now Soviet forces, Bekker and his men fight a series of underwater battles where survival depends on stealth, deception, and extraordinary courage. Faced with an uncertain future, Bekker must decide whether to carry out a mission that will prolong the war or to consign the Reich’s weapons to the North Atlantic deep. His decision could alter the course of history.
The Last U-boat published in Germany as Red Alert.
The Last Uboat edition by Peter Sasgen Literature Fiction eBooks
The Last U-Boat is another exciting thriller by author Peter Sasgen. While the novel is fictional, it is based on a non-fictional, Nazi secret operation between Germany and Japan that, had it been successful, could have possibly caused the death of millions and altered the balance of power in the world for decades.In 1945, Germany and many of its officers knew the end was near. Hitler knew that time was running out and Germany might never be able to deliver the results of their secret biological research in weapons form against closing Allied and Russian forces.
While Germany needed gold to continue their war effort, the Japanese needed a weapon to stop the unrelenting American forces in the Pacific who were systematically attacking and destroying the Japanese Empire with a vengeance.
The exchange of 20 tons of Japanese gold bullion to Hitler for German biological weapons to destroy the Americans, represented an opportunity for both countries to extend the war, live another day, and possibly defeat the Allies.
To accomplish this exchange, the Germans planned to ship canisters of deadly anthrax and plague via a U-Boat to rendezvous with the Japanese and return with 20 tons of gold bullion to replenish Germany’s military might.
What happened once the German U-Boat departed on its mission in the Spring of 1945, until the secret of what happened to its cargo surfaced years later, remained a mystery for decades. Peter Sasgen has written an intriguing story of what could have happened on that dangerous journey.
With The Last U-Boat, Peter Sasgen has crafted another intriguing and well-written story of mystery and suspense. This thriller is set against wartime events involving well-research historical fiction, and has it all: a web of British MI-6, Russian NKGB, and American Intelligence, espionage, sex, violence and murder; all laid out in a race against time to stop the delivery of deadly biological weapons that could alter history.
The Last U-Boat has been a hit since it was first published in Germany in 2010. It has only recently became available as a Kindle Edition in the USA, and having read several other books by Peter Sasgen, I was looking forward to reading this one.
The thing that I liked about The Last U-Boat is that once I started reading, it was fast and hard to put down; for me, that is a page turner as one might say; I read it almost non-stop in two days while traveling over the holidays.
What I especially liked about The Last U-Boat is that while the story is about how and if the German U-Boat Captain will complete his mission for the Fuhrer, and who will win the race between Allied and Russian forces to find the U-Boat and secure its secret cargo, there is a lot more.
For me, it was the characters involved and their lives, decisions, dangers, and hardships faced during this period nearing the end of the war, that I found especially thought-provoking. How far should one go in risking their life for their country and perhaps a lost cause? How does one survive such circumstances beyond their control? Will there be a life after the war? Will they ever see their family and loved ones again? What price is too much? Is there a way out?
Thinking about the dangerous, hopeless and uncontrollable situation in which characters faced at this time, one has to feel a certain sympathy for their plight, and ask themselves, “What would I have done under these dangerous circumstances?”
So if you are looking for a thrilling and fast read and great story, check out The Last U-Boat. Then check out Peter Sasgen’s other recent books: The Blood of Lost Empires and The Days of Killing; a Novel of Berlin; you will be glad you did!

The Last Uboat edition by Peter Sasgen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I purchased this book because it was listed under 's "non-fiction" section. Once I started reading the book I realized that it was fiction--not what I was looking for. As a fiction book it wasn't very good either.
Interesting book, some of it based on fact during the closing days of WW2. Kind of expected a different ending and was a little disappointed with that, otherwise a pretty decent page turner
Caution! "The Last U-boat" is so exciting that I read it too fast and had to read it a second time to really appreciate the story. Peter Sasgen combines meticulous research with pin-point accuracy to achieve a high velocity thriller. The German high command launches Operation Kondor but almost immediately the British and MI-6 are onto it. And...the Russians want to know what the British have found. Enter a beautiful and seductive spy. DIVE! DIVE! And enjoy it!
I really enjoyed this book. What I did enjoy about the book was all the different stories that resulted because of the U-boat and its required task. One does not realize that one task can involve so many other situations. Not boring from beginning to end. I liked the way the author ended the book/story.
If you like drama, this book has it all. Unexpected changes in the plot keep the reader constantly on edge, and asking for more. Captivating intrigue between spies, with gripping and realistic undersea action make this book a winner. It is hard to put a story like this down each day, so don't start it if you have to get up early the next morning.
