About This Book
The story follows three young men who join the naval radio service during wartime, learning wireless technology and performing signals duty aboard a transport. Training and shipboard operations give way to clandestine encounters and counterintelligence as they uncover enemy plots, confront spies, and take part in rescues and offensive actions. Episodes emphasize technical improvisation and tapping enemy communications while the demands of secrecy and loyalty stress their character; combat, imprisonment, and inventive problem solving test their resourcefulness. The narrative progresses from instruction in radio work to decisive skirmishes and eventual recognition for their service.
