The Sea Snake — Stephen W. Meader

The Sea Snake. Barney Cannon, the sixteen-year-old son of a North Carolina fisherman---a German submarine---a Nazi agent posing as a wealthy sportsman and living on the North Carolina coast---a camouflaged German submarine base on an island off the Bahamas. These are the main ingredients of Mr. Meader's new book for boys, as swift, as breathtaking, and as convincing a story as he has ever written. It is handled with the same sure touch, the skill in narrative writing, and the originality and freshness of plot that characterize Mr. Meader's books.
