Imagine this: It’s August 1945, World War II is over, and suddenly a German submarine shows up off the coast of Argentina.

The crew had been underwater for 66 days straight, sailing over 100 days to escape capture. When they finally surrendered in Mar del Plata, wild rumors exploded: Was the sub hiding Nazis? Smuggling gold?

Officially, the story ends there: just a desperate crew, no hidden treasure. The sub was handed over and sunk by the US.

But what if there’s more to the story?

That’s where Skyring Water comes in. In this thriller, post-war secrets, lost Nazi gold, and old enemies collide in a hunt that turns deadly.

Dive into Skyring Water, now on Amazon as an audiobook, eBook, or hardcover.

Chile's southern tip is a maze of fjords, glaciers, and dead-end channels. Easy to get lost in. Easier to hide in.

After the war, that's exactly what some people came here to do.

"A man who is afraid to admit his fear is a fool and, ironically, also a coward."
— Anton Voss, Skyring Water

Voss doesn't pretend he isn't afraid. With Cold War agents and the undefeated remnants of the Third Reich all racing for the greatest secret of the 20th century, admitting fear is worth more than faking courage.

Is he right?

A novel written across decades by father and son. The story is Cold War suspense. Two unlikely heroes. A woman without a name. And the undefeated agents of the Third Reich, all racing for the greatest secret of the 20th century.

Beau L'Amour sits down with @Necronomicast to discuss the process of managing his father's estate, from editing and finishing manuscripts to running a literary magazine and a radio drama series, completing comics, and igniting the flame in another generation to engage with the vast collection of Louis L'Amour novels.

The strangest helicopter the U.S. military ever flew, and it plays a key role in Skyring Water.

Two rotors, no tail — blades spinning in opposite directions and timed so perfectly they pass through each other without colliding. Meet the Kaman HH-43 Huskie. 

The mind behind it? Anton Flettner — a German aviation engineer who pioneered helicopter design for the Luftwaffe, then came to America under Operation Paperclip in 1947.

The result was unlike anything else in the sky. No tail rotor meant 100% of the engine's 860 horsepower went straight to lift. It could hover at extreme altitudes, haul serious loads, and land in spots a conventional helicopter couldn't get near.

In Skyring Water, the CIA operates one aboard a modified WWII destroyer — because it's the only helicopter compact enough to fit.

Cold War tech. Real history. Hidden in the pages of the novel.
