Description
"Welcome to the shakedown cruise of the world's biggest and ugliest sardine can."
THE US NAVY SUBMARINE CRUISER SC-1
Launched in 1936 under the command of Captain Dave Bannon as an exploratory vessel and test-bed, the largest submarine boat in the world and her crew soon discover that world is a lot stranger than they could ever imagine.
Off the United States' Atlantic coast, a huge and deadly something lurks hundreds of feet below the surface.
When secret Royal Navy test ships south of Greenland are wrecked, the sub investigates - only to run into a towering aquatic nightmare.
An incredible flying boat and a seaborne carrier of fantastic size threaten the submarine, her crew, and world stability.
Three exciting tales of undersea adventure in the tradition of Irwin Allen's VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

Person
Mike Chinn lives in Birmingham UK with his wife Caroline and their guinea pigs. The first collection of the 1930s set adventures of his occult investigator Damian Paladin, THE PALADIN MANDATES (The Alchemy Press, 1998), was short-listed for the British Fantasy Award in 1999; and a second Paladin collection, WALKERS IN SHADOW, was published by Pro Se Productions in 2017. A revised and expanded (by 10,000 words) edition of PALADIN MANDATES was published by Pro Se in 2020. In the second issue of OCCULT DETECTIVE QUARTERLY "The Black Tarot" teamed Paladin and Leigh Oswin with the eponymous investigator; and the newest additions to this expanding pulpy universe are the submarine USS Oswin and crew: first sailing in the Damian Paladin story "Cradle of the Deep" (issue one of the reborn STARTLING STORIES magazine), then striking out alone in "Echoes of Days Passed" (THE ALCHEMY PRESS BOOK OF HORRORS 3: A MISCELLANY OF MONSTERS). Both stories, plus a previously unpublished novella, were collected in DRAWING DOWN LEVIATHAN in 2024
