The hero of The Good Shepherd is Commander Krause, the captain of the fictional US Navy Mahan-class destroyer USS Keeling in World War II. He finds himself in a difficult position. The captains of the other vessels in the escort group are junior to him in rank, and much younger, but they have been at war for over two years.
