A reissue of Willard Price's classic adventure series set in the animal kingdom 'He left them there to die . . .' Hal and Roger Hunt dive straight into danger on a specimen-collecting trip to Undersea City. But it's not just sharks and killer whales the brothers have to fear when they are plunged into the depths of another adventure.
