About this book
Under Pressure, published in 1956, is Frank Herbert's first novel -- also published as The Dragon in the Sea -- a claustrophobic submarine thriller about paranoia and psychological breakdown in a resource-starved future at war over oil. Its themes of scarcity and survival under extreme pressure anticipate the planetary scale Herbert would bring to Dune a decade later.
