| Summary |
"Don Winslow of the Navy" by Frank V. Martinek is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Commander Don Winslow, a skilled officer in the Naval Intelligence Service, as he embarks on a dangerous mission to thwart an international crime ring known as Scorpia, whose sinister plots aim to plunge nations into war. Alongside his loyal companion, Lieutenant "Red" Pennington, and the kidnapped Mercedes Colby, the daughter of a retired Navy Admiral, Winslow must navigate through perilous situations filled with combat, espionage, and uncovering hidden dangers. The opening of the book sets the stage as Winslow, Pennington, and Colby emerge from the chaos of an underwater explosion where they have captured a Scorpia base in Haiti. As they recuperate and assess their surroundings, the trio quickly realizes that danger is imminent—they are not safe yet, as the Scorpion is likely to launch a deadly counterattack. With the threat of more sabotage over their heads and the grim realization of how deep Scorpia's threat runs, the group prepares to defend themselves against a powerful enemy, preparing the reader for an intense adventure filled with suspense and action as they seek to outsmart those that would do them harm.
