Twelve-year-old Alfred wants to be an explorer "not" a fisherman like everyone else in Dark Cove, Newfoundland. Can he and the junkyard genius build a submarine from an old oil tank? What will happen when he is mistaken for a Russian spy sub?
About the Author
Philip Francis Roy was born and raised in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. He grew up beside the ocean, and it now features in many of the stories he writes. His university studies included music and history, but he also knew from an early age that he wanted to write novels. Submarine Outlaw, his first published novel, is the result of a lifelong fascination with submarines and a secret desire to build one. “If teens enjoy reading Submarine Outlaw half as much as I enjoyed writing it,” says Philip, “I will feel very rewarded indeed.” Philip has many other stories waiting in the docks, including an exciting sequel to Submarine Outlaw, coming in fall 2009.
