An image snatched from space draws young Tom Swift into a strange and excit- ing mystery beneath the North Atlantic!The video image of a drowning Roman may portend terrorist action by a covey of European agents -- a suspicion that seems confirmed by the inexplicable sinking of the supertanker Centurion and the disappearance of the wreck from the ocean floor. Just as Tom begins to fulfill his promise to crack the code buried in the image, he receives grim news: his best friend Bud has been caught up in the catastrophic ruin of a Swedish engineering project in which Swift Enterprises is a crucial partner. To follow the subsea trail, Tom devises an ingenious underwater tracking system. The invention leads the young inventor and his friends to a seamount near Iceland and to near death in the icy deep.The trail leads on to London, to Paris, to a secret lab compound on the coast of Spain, and to a question: What is Configuration Eighteen? It is only after Tom completes and perfects his aquatomic tracker that the trail comes to an explosive end, high above the waves -- and in the cold blue depths below.
