Drawing Down Leviathan (Paperback or Softback)

"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.
