“Every ’old’ book is a ’new’ adventure for anyone who has ’never’ read it.” ®

Description : In the twenty-first century, during the long war with the Eastern Hemisphere, America and her allies in the Western Hemisphere were disastrously short of oil. Her powerful atomic “subtugs” had been crossing the ocean and pirating oil from the enemy’s huge underwater deposits – a plan that was simple but frequently fatal. On the last twenty oil-raid missions every American subtug had been detected and destroyed. The fuel situation was desperate and morale was falling to a dangerous level. It was therefore vital that the nest raider, the sugtug Fenian Ram S1881, get through and get back.

On this decisive mission Ensign Johnny Ramsey, assigned as electronics officer to the Fenian Ram , had to battle not only the enemy anti-sub wolf packs, but also the presence on board of an unknown saboteur. Worst of all, however, was the terrible strain on the crew as the moved toward almost certain death, trapped in a radioactive coffin 8000 feet below sea level.
