The Wolf-Men: A Tale of Amazing Adventure in the Under-World

Beneath the ice of the North Pole lies a world no human has ever seen. When Professor James Mervyn convinces millionaire adventurer Silas K. Haverly to fund an expedition aboard a revolutionary submarine, they expect to map the frozen depths. Instead, they breach into something far older and far more dangerous: an underworld of endless caverns, bioluminescent seas, and a civilization that has never known the sun. The Wolf-Men await them. Ferocious, intelligent, and terrifyingly human in their cruelty, these wolf-faced beings rule the darkness below with tooth and claw. But the surface threats prove just as deadly. Someone on Haverly's own train is plotting to steal the submarine before it even launches, and time is running out. What begins as a scientific expedition becomes a fight for survival against creatures that view intruders as prey, and a race against enemies who would claim the underworld's secrets for themselves. Powell's forgotten classic pulses with the raw thrill of first-contact adventure, where every shadow hides a threat and the map ends where the truth begins.
