Air Commodore Raymond presents a thrilling new case for Biggles, Ginger, Algy, and Bertie, now members of the Scotland Yard Air Squad. Contrary to surrendering at the end of the war, Commander Von Schonbeck of submarine U-517 evaded capture and fled to the south Indian ocean. Taking refuge on an uncharted island, he has launched a personal war, reaping substantial profits. Among his spoils, he is believed to possess a substantial amount of gold. However, there is limited information available: the submarine sinks all the vessels it preys upon, leaving no survivors. With a vast hunting ground spanning one million square miles of air and ocean, Biggles and his colleagues must locate the renegade submarine before it continues its destructive rampage. Will they succeed in their quest, or will Von Schonbeck prove to be an adversary too formidable to overcome? Will Biggles encounter a challenge that surpasses his capabilities in the pursuit of the cunning von Schonbeck?
