Pyramid, New York, 1959. 144 pp, mass market paperback. "That boat back there is a complete submarine - in miniature. About fifty feet long - including propeller, rudder and hydroplanes. That reduces your living space to something nearer thirty-five feet. You have no to rpedo tubes, no armaments. You're not meant to be found or to fight a battle. From now on you're a sneaker. Inoffensive - until you release your side cargoes. Each one of those holds four tons of amatol explosive and a time clock. You d r o p t h o s e under that Jap cruiser's bottom and then run for your life....Peter Bentley had three weeks to learn to handle the midget submarine - three weeks to accomplish the secret and deadly mission that could be the turning point of the w ho le w ar . " In te rior - previous owner's name stamp on first page, light browning to pages, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - light edge wear, minor browning on rear cover. Very Good.
