In Dreams Awake Joe Hoffman

Tom Jordan awoke this mid-summer morning to the two things he loved most. His job as an Airline Pilot and Alex, his special love.

But under the restless night was the cloud of on-going nightmares which hounded him and accurately foretold his fate. By the time the sun would set on the horizon that day, he would be clinging for his life on a make-shift raft somewhere off the coast of South America. His only hope of survival was with Alex, in the hope she could find him before the ocean claimed him.

Alexandre Sanders, Tom's special love, learned of Tom's trouble when he failed to show up at the airport following his dead-head fl ight arrival time. Alex, herself an Airline Pilot was subsequently put in charge of the Airline's Rescue Crisis center, dedicated to fi nding Tom and coordinating the rescue efforts.

As time ticked hopelessly away, all hopes were diminished when the Korean Government decided to abandon the search for their own embassy flight.

Alex had to move fast and call in some favors for a last chance effort to fi nd Tom in a place that doesn't give up her dead.

When poor weather dashed all hopes for fi nding Tom, around the coast of South America comes the H. M. S. Conqueror. The famous British Submarine, commanded by her even more renowned Captain. He notices a strange blip on the radar screen. Under the knowledgeable memory of the radar man, the Captain investigates further, only to fi nd the missing Embassy flight and its survivors.

Look through the periscope lens and stand with the Captain and crew on the con, and watch a covert operation take on the duties of a rescue mission in enemy waters. Under the cover of the ocean darkness and the cloak of sadness and despair in Alex's heart will come one last chance for a daring rescue at sea, where secrecy is everything.

You won't want to miss it.
