The Motor Boat Club Off Long Island; Or, a Daring Marine Game at Racing Speed
1909
The year is 1909. Motorboats are brand new, terrifying, glorious machines, and for a crew of少年冒险少年, the waters off Long Island are the most exciting frontier in America. Captain Tom Halstead and his crew aboard the motor cruiser Rocket tear through fog and sea at racing speed, but when thick fog descends and danger looms from unseen vessels, Tom's quick thinking and steady hand are put to the ultimate test. Amidst navigating these immediate perils, a darker mystery surfaces: Mr. Delavan, the Rocket's owner, has vanished entirely, and the young sailors find themselves drawn into an intrigue that will demand every ounce of their courage and astuteness. This is adventure fiction at its turn-of-the-century finest: a breathless blend of early automotive wonder, maritime danger, and the irreducible thrill of young people proving themselves against impossible odds.
