Today's pioneers find their frontiers in the tremendous achievements of modern science. Rick Brant is no exception and his interest in electronics, as readers of The Rocket's Shadow and The Lost City well know, often leads Rick and his friend Scotty into adventures both amazing and perilous.

     This summer the boys decide to get jobs at the new sea mine plant where minerals are being extracted from sea water. From the start they encounter inexplicable opposition to their plan –– opposition that seems to have a peculiar element of personal malice. In spite of this they manage to land jobs at the plant, but it soon becomes apparent that not only is the sea mine being systematically sabotaged but also that the unknown enemies are determined to liquidate Rick and Scotty themselves. Finally, after Rick foils a murderous attempt on their lives, the boys are fired –– for their own good. But Rick and Scotty sense that the climax of the diabolical plot is not far off and and refuse to stay fired.

     Sea Gold is a trigger-paced story in which the mounting suspense culminates in a surprise ending that will catch the reader off guard and gain a new host of friends for this brand-new electronic series.
