A reissue of Willard Price's classic adventure series set in the animal kingdom 'Never trust sharks . . .' Hal and Roger Hunt dive into danger when they join the Oceanographic institute as part of an underwater operation in the South Seas. And it's sink or swim for the intrepid brothers when their aquatic adventures bring them face to face with a foe even more deadly than the sea creatures of the deep . . .
Price knew all the right buttons to press to excite a young reader - exotic locations, nasty villains, wild animals and lashings of peril -- David Barnett * Guardian *
