| 520 | _a"Silence is—Deadly" by Bertrand Shurtleff is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1940s, during World War II. The story delves into the themes of technology and treachery, particularly highlighting the pivotal role of radio communication in naval operations. The narrative unfolds aboard the U.S. Cruiser "Comerford", where the invention of a Czech scientist threatens the safety of the ship and its crew amidst escalating war tensions. The plot follows Commander Bob Curtis, who faces both external danger and internal betrayal as he navigates through a treacherous situation. Zukor Androka, an eccentric scientist, has developed a device capable of creating a zone of radio silence that disrupts communication. When a storm hits, Curtis and his crew discover they are cut off from essential navigational tools, leading to a dangerous collision. The plot thickens when it's revealed that Androka has allied with Nazi agents, using his technology to assist their plans. As Curtis regains control, he must battle both Androka's destructive inventions and the treachery within his own ranks, culminating in a fierce confrontation to reclaim the "Comerford" and thwart the enemy's ambitions.
