Spanning centuries of naval innovation, the story documents the deadly progression from primitive torpedo attacks to German U-boats, Japanese submersibles, and finally the cutting-edge atomic submarine that promises to safeguard freedom of the seas.

Jonnie Flint finds himself trapped behind enemy lines, but his faith pays off when fellow atomic commandos Bill Battle and Champ Ruggles mount a daring midnight rescue—scaling walls, overpowering guards, and fighting their way to the woods as the entire villa descends into chaos. Once airborne aboard the Atomic Sub with Doc Blake, Jonnie reveals intelligence about a secret military base hidden in the Arctic ice that could launch a catastrophic attack at any moment, forcing the President and Joint Chiefs of Staff to authorize an unconventional mission that only the Sub's unique capabilities can execute.
