The USS Augustus is a nuclear submarine. Her crew is unaccustomed to picking up castaways, especially on uncharted islands in the middle of the Atlantic. But that is where they find Emma Loveless, sole survivor of a private jet crash, who has an unbelievable story to tell. The Pentagon contacts Marcus Steed who shows them a strange statue of a monstrous sea god killing a whale. Not just a sea god but an elder god once worshipped by the Philistines as Dagon. And now the U.S. Navy will return to those islands to investigate her story.
