About the Book
Also published as Tunnel Through the Deeps.
Over 4,000 miles in
length, intended to sustain a pressure of 1,000 atmospheres while
accommodating cargo and passengers traveling in excess of 1,000 miles
per hour, the Transatlantic Tunnel is the greatest engineering feat in
the history of the British Empire, a project worthy of Her Majesty's
Empire in this the eighth decade of the twentieth century.
If the project is a success, the credit will belong to Captain Augustus
Washington, the most brilliant engineer of our age. It is Washington's
greatest hope that his success will at last erase the family shame
inspired by that other Washington, George, traitor to his King, who was
hanged by Lord Cornwallis more than two centuries ago.
