Emile-Auguste-Cyprien Driant was a famous French military
strategist and politician, who died heroically before Verdun during
World War I. Like a 19th century Tom Clancy, Driant also wrote,
under the nom-de-plume of "Captain Danrit," a number of very
popular "techno-thrillers," which he used to develop his
ground-breaking military theories, especially in regards to the
application of then-new technologies to modern and future warfare.
In Undersea Odyssey (1908), Driant tackled the use of the modern,
200-ton submarines which had just been introduced in the French
Navy a few years earlier, campaigning for more safety measures
through the harrowing and suspenseful tale of sailors trapped
thirty fathoms below in the Mediterranean. This book reprints the
1910 translation by Frederick Lawton, and includes an illustrated
Driant biography and bibliography by Jean-Marc Lofficier.
