The Boy Volunteers with the Submarine Fleet

The Atlantic stretches endless and calm until the moment it isn't. Ralph and Alfred are two American boys crossing the ocean on the eve of the Great War, their passage suddenly shattered by the scream of a torpedo. In an instant, the ship becomes a death trap, and the boys must draw on every ounce of nerve and cunning just to survive the attack. What begins as a European holiday becomes a desperate fight for life amid the chaos of naval warfare. Captured by a German U-boat and thrust into the dangerous world of submarine espionage, the boys must rely on their wits, their courage, and their friendship to navigate a world where the rules of war bend for no one. Kenneth Ward crafts a pulse-pounding adventure that captures the terror and exhilaration of 1914, when the world changed forever and two young Americans found themselves on the front lines of a conflict they never asked to join. Perfect for readers who love historical adventure with genuine stakes and boy heroes who earn their courage.
