About This Book

A group of young submariners at a winter coastal resort face a hidden spy network intent on their vessel. The crew takes on a capable Japanese steward, endures pranks and growing suspicion, and becomes entangled in capture and underwater danger. Clues gathered onshore, quick thinking by friends, and unexpected assistance from the secret service drive a series of small-boat actions and investigations. The plot builds through tense confrontations with infiltrators until government agents intervene, leading to a decisive resolution that uncovers the spy ring and restores the crew's safety.
