Galway Bay, Ireland: After setting off from Boston on a round-the-world voyage, the nuclear submarine William J. Kepple disappeared; after being missing for five days, it then reappeared in Ireland, but the entire crew were found dead. Tremayne assigns Craig, Richard and Sharron to take the William J. Kepple and follow the same route the ill-fated sub took, in order to find out what happened to its crew. But when the submarine strikes an underwater reef the Champions are forced to surface, and find themselves near an island surrounded by a mysterious green mist. Going ashore to investigate, Craig, Richard and Sharron encounter a scientist experimenting with germ warfare...
