From the Back Cover
The USS Triggerfish--an American World War II submarine--has come home over fifty years after she was presumed lost in the Atlantic. Now her dark gray hulk lies embedded in the sand of a San Diego beach, her conning tower barely above the breaking surf. The submarine is in the wrong ocean, her crew is missing . . . And her half-century absence is a mystery that's about to deepen. For the Triggerfish has returned, but she has not returned alone. Something is inside her -- something unexpected and terrible. To J. D. Stanton, retired Navy captain and historian, falls the task of solving the mystery surrounding a ship possessed. What he is about to encounter will challenge his training, his wits, and his faith. Complicating his mission is a ruthless madman bent on obtaining a secret artifact stolen from the highest levels of the Nazi regime. And poised in the middle is a young woman, a lieutenant who must contend with invisible forces she never knew existed. A Ship Possessed is a story of faith, courage, and determination in the face of unexpected and unknown evil.

This is my first book by Alton Gansky but it will not be my last! "A Ship Possessed" is a good mystery of how a WWII Gato submarine could turn up on a California beach 50 years after disappearing but not showing any signs of age. Gansky creates and fleshes out his characters to where they are believable as people while weaving in a credible story of angels and demons. From the first page to the last, this is a good book to read!
Format:Paperback
Great read! Gansky gives credible reason to the spiritual dimension in a no nonsense way! Huge insights and great characters in the book.

When I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. It has all the adventure of a secular novel of it's kind with the creepy, unexplained occurences,and a few deaths. The parallel stories of what happened in 1940's and the present day people are well done and kept my interest. Some the ideas and theories brought up were new to me and I found them intreaguing. I will definitely keep up with this author and recommend that everyone check this out!!
