Nick stumbles on an ancient sea chest wanted by a nefarious pirate from the past, then discovers his dad's a spy on the lookout for German submarines. Throw in a meeting with Nick's great-great-grandfather and a sea battle alongside his hero, Admiral Lord Nelson, then add his sister's captivity on a submarine. We've got cliffhangers, time travel, weapons galore, spying, and pure adventure.
