Former Marine and amateur scuba diver Bob Mintz, on his first trip offshore since Hurricane Hugo, discovers a sunken German U-Boat where there used to be a large underwater sand mound, a spot where he spearfished. Noting the number on the sub, he decided to investigate it, but what he found mystified him. The sub he found was supposed to have been transferred to the Japanese in 1944 and scuttled after the war. Also, why was a U-Boat doing so close to shore in water so shallow? Bob enlists the help for a former Marine buddy and ex-CIA agent, Jim Hopkins, and what they find leads them on a desperate chase to stop a madman from igniting a nuclear war.

<p>Basically, this an autobiographical account of my four years in the U.S. Marine Corps, from 1953-1957. It focuses on the two years I spent at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the years immediately before the totalitarian regime of Fidel Castro. I have been honest with the tales of my/our exploits, both good and not-so-good. I believe it is an interesting read, and I hope you will enjoy getting a look at life in a Guantanamo Bay that was relaxed, secure and easy-going.</p>

<p>The Web of the Spider keeps readers on the edge as a former Marine and Guantanamo Bay veteran finds a sunken U-boat while scuba diving off the South Carolina coast. The ensuing search for information leads to a diabolical plot hatched by former Nazis. That, and a romance between a beautiful underwater archaeologist, a number of death plots and two rogue nuclear submarines make for an action-adventure thriller that's a real page turner. A former Marine and a Guantanamo Bay veteran, Herb Bailey was introduced to scuba diving as a junior in high school and was active in the sport while stationed in Cuba. The first-time author is a graduate of Belmont High School (Massachusetts) and attended Boston University. Previously a television news anchor and sports director, he later became a public relations executive for a major steel producer, and then contracted with an international organization that took him around the world hosting sales seminars in 17 countries on four continents. He is married, lives in Georgetown, South Carolina, with his wife, Linda, and has three grown children. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/herbbailey</p>
