Summary
The Crew of the Anaconda (1940) is a Second World War espionage thriller in the style of the “Boy’s Own” adventure tale. The protagonist, Denis Halloran, is an adventurer and the owner of the Anaconda, a high-powered, fast motorboat originally used to evade law enforcement during his illicit activities in the Americas. Recruited into the British Secret Service by a shrewd Intelligence colonel, Halloran and his three-man crew use the Anaconda to thwart a German espionage network operating around Great Britain and to disrupt Nazi preparations for a submarine (U-boat) offensive.
