  At the Time Appointed

  "Those who remember that excellent detective story, That Mainwaring Affair will expect to find plenty of mystery and exciting incidents in A. Maynard Barbour's latest novel, called At the Time Appointed, and they will realize their expectations.The author has a certain way of forecasting events and making people utter prophetic words, all bound to find their fulfillment somewhere before the last chapter is ended, that is eminently characteristic of one who delights in the knitting and raveling of the intricate plots which are a prime necessity in a detective story.  The title itself cleverly suggests a long series of events slowly converging toward some mysteriously critical moment in which all their crookedness is revealed and made straight for the delectation of at least two people; and the is exactly the kind of a title for this story of long-delayed justice and patient hoping. The main object in a story of this kind is to make the events hang together and the narration of them entertaining.  Both these requisites are attained.  People will be sure to read this story at one sitting, even if that involves hearing the clock strike several times after midnight and that is one test of at least one kind of excellence in a novel."  (excerpts from the NY Times review of At the Time Appointed published July 18, 1903)

  An aging nuclear submarine—A lockout saturation-diving system—A handful of daredevil heroes! 
  “Over the past few decades, action-adventure stories about submarines and diving have become a popular genre. Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler come to mind as exemplars. But Robert Williscroft really raises the bar with this book. Not only is he an outstanding writer, but he is also a ‘doer,’ having participated in the events described in Operation Ivy Bells.”—Captain Don Walsh USN, PhD, USN Submersible Pilot #1, Officer in Charge Bathyscaph Trieste, 1959-1962 
  A super-secret, off-the-books spy organization; a security-clearance starting at Top Secret and going up; an attack by giant squid during a thousand-foot dive while breathing an exotic gas; a cat’s whisker escape from death during a 3-day decompression—and that’s just the first two chapters of Operation Ivy Bells, before the action really gets underway. 
  In a fast-paced, personal narrative, J.R. “Mac” MacDowell details a breathtaking series of events during a top-secret intelligence gathering operation at the height of the Cold War. Riding the nuclear submarine Halibut, Mac and his saturation diving team surreptitiously enter Soviet-controlled Sea of Okhotsk to install a tap on an underwater communications cable at 400 feet, and narrowly escape death when a storm snaps Halibut’s anchor cables. They retrieve missile parts from a Soviet missile-test splash-zone, getting caught in a sonar-web set by the crafty skipper of an old Soviet diesel submarine. Later, Halibut is outfitted with skids so she can sit on the bottom. Mac and his team attach a 12-thousand-pound recording pod to the cable. In the missile splash-zone, they lock in deadly underwater combat with Soviet divers. 
  Halibut finally returns home without ever publicly revealing their crucial contribution to winning the Cold War. 
  Narrated by Mark Budwill, the voice of the Oakland A's. Includes PDF companion including images, diagrams, glossary, and supplemental material.
