Attack the Lusitania!
Released April 2011!
1915: A U-boat swiftly slips away as a torpedoed freighter sinks into the cold
Atlantic, muffling the anguished cries of its burning crew. As war escalates around
the world, Germany has shocked mankind by firing on civilian as well as military
targets, including the doomed American cargo ship. Amid the international chaos,
duty calls Bill Shafer from his humble home in Liverpool, and business draws
Everett Stringham from his comfortable life in the United States. Their paths cross
aboard the pride of the British fleet, the luxury cruise liner R.M.S. Lusitania, where
Everett’s small copy of the Book of Mormon sparks a friendship with Bill, as well as
outrage from Bill’s supervisor, John Todd.
Once the ship docks in New York, each of the three men is changed forever as they
experience in very different ways the heartache and the healing of living the restored
gospel. But after a bold threat from the German Embassy, the safety of their return
voyage is in doubt. And in the deep waters of the Atlantic, that danger becomes
certain as the crew and passengers of the Lusitania face a bitter enemy, a foolish
captain, and a single torpedo.

Reader Reviews:
Shaun Pace
History lives only when people read about it, and the fascinating and tragic story of the
passenger ship Lusitania is destined to survive for many years thanks to Jerry’s
captivating work. His attention to historical detail brings the story to life. I was drawn in
immediately and felt like I really knew the people in the story. It is always fun to be
entertained and learn history at the same time.
Norman Jenson
Historical fiction—when done right—is true to the history, compelling, and fun to read.
The story of the sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania in World War I has been told
before, but never better than in Jerry’s Attack the Lusitania.
