About This Book

The narrative follows two young officers, Jack Templeton and Frank Chadwick, who serve under Lord Hastings aboard an advanced submarine that can remain submerged indefinitely and move at exceptional speeds, as they embark on a perilous mission to penetrate the heavily fortified German base at Heligoland for reconnaissance and sabotage. Interwoven are their backgrounds—Frank's ordeal of losing his father, being shanghaied and later rescued, and Jack's upbringing in an African coastal town leading to his rescue of Frank—and summaries of their previous sea adventures and narrow escapes that have prepared them for this daring operation.
