Tunnel Through the Deeps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tunnel Through the Deeps (also published as A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!) is a 1972 science fiction novel by Harry Harrison.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The book takes place in an alternate history in which the American War of Independence was lost, George Washington was shot as a traitor, and America is still a British colony. The protagonist, Augustus Washington, is a direct descendant of George Washington.

The title refers to the construction of a submerged floating-tube pontoon bridge/tunnel across the Atlantic Ocean in the novel.

Captain Augustine Washington and Sir Isambard Brassey-Brunel (descendant of Isambard Kingdom Brunel) get together to link the heart of the British Empire with its far-flung Atlantic colony in North America.

Detective Richard Tracy also makes an appearance.
