Arthur Conan Doyle
A collection of short stories likely written in the early 20th century. The book examines themes of war, national security, and the foibles of society through imaginative narratives. The titular story introduces Captain John Sirius, a naval officer who presents a bold plan to counteract England's formidable naval power. At the start of ''Danger!'', the setting shifts to a tense moment before a conflict, where the English monarchy faces a dire ultimatum from a smaller naval power. Captain John Sirius, confident in his strategic abilities, persuades the King and his advisers to reject the ultimatum and grants Sirius command of the fleet. He devises a plan to leverage submarines to bring England to its knees through a series of attacks on merchant vessels, which illustrates both his tactical brilliance and the gravity of the war's humanitarian consequences, setting the stage for a thrilling exploration of wartime tactics and the stark realities of naval warfare.
