Two men, trapped in a crippled submarine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOutside was pitch darkness and the icy chill of the ocean’s depths—and the crushing weight of 1,700 feet of water. On the surface a flotilla of ships and a rescue operation under the command of an eccentric retired naval commander. For three days, the world watched and held its breath.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOn August 29th, 1973, a routine dive to the telecommunication cable that snakes along the Atlantic sea bed went badly wrong. \u003ci\u003ePisces III,\u003c\/i\u003e with Roger Chapman and Roger Mallinson onboard, had tried to surface when a catastrophic fault suddenly sent the mini-submarine tumbling to the ocean bed—almost half a mile below.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBadly damaged, buried nose first in a bed of sand, the submarine and the two men were now trapped far beyond the depth of all previous sub-sea rescues.

Ricocheting from the smoke filled ‘war room’ at Vickers, the world famous ship-building headquarters, in Barrow-in-Furness, to the surface vessels and then down to depths where three separate dive teams and the mini-submarine struggled in darkness, this thrilling adventure story shows how Britain, America, and Canada pooled their resources into a ‘Brotherhood of the Sea’ dedicated to stopping the ocean depths from claiming two of their own.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYet at the heart of \u003ci\u003eThe Dive\u003c\/i\u003e is the human drama is the relationship between Roger Chapman, the ebullient former naval officer, and Roger Mallinson, the studious engineer, sealed in a sunken sarcophagus, with air quickly running out and help a long way off. For three days they would battle against despair, fading hope, and carbon dioxide poisoning, taking the reader on an emotional ride from the depths of defeat to a glimpse of the sun-dappled surface.","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48590288453887,"sku":"9781643137469","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781643137469_s600x595.jpg?v=1779980282","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781643137469","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
