About This Book

Three young moving-picture camera partners embark on a transatlantic voyage into wartime waters and quickly find themselves drawn into espionage and peril. They observe a secret conference that raises suspicions of stolen military films, face the submarine threat while attempting to capture dramatic footage, and continue to the combat zone where they document trench life, gas attacks, air raids, and capture. The plot alternates on-the-scene filmmaking episodes with suspenseful encounters and narrow escapes, exploring courage, resourcefulness, and loyalty as the boys pursue evidence and try to protect what they have filmed.
