There is talk of peace across Europe as the First World War draws to its bloody conclusion and the German naval fleet limps into Scapa Flow for a humiliating surrender. But for Lieutenant Kelly Maguire, new conflicts arise in Russia, the Mediterranean and the Far East. Maguire faces brutal choices and violent action. Rising through the ranks of the Royal Navy he is sent on a mission to the killing-ground of China. For Maguire, dangerous years are ahead.

About the Author:
John Harris, who also wrote under the pen names of Mark Hebden and Max Hennessy was born in 1916. He authored the best-selling The Sea Shall Not Have Them. He was a sailor, an airman, a journalist, a travel courier, a cartoonist and a history teacher. During the Second World War he served with two air forces and two navies. After turning to full-time writing, Harris wrote adventure stories and created a sequence of crime novels around the quirky fictional character Chief Inspector Pel. A master of war and crime fiction, his enduring novels are versatile and entertaining.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Ian Robertson (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners bruised, not price clipped (£5.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 292pp. Hero of Jutland in World War I, Kelly Maguire progresses rapidly through Navy ranks during the dangerous post War years. Amidst the Russian Civil War, British forces must rescue thousands of terrified White Army men from rampaging Communist militias. Maguire gets stuck in, risking everything. From Russia, he moves on to China, and a gunboat incident on the Yangtze. His resolve is tested when he must choose between his childhood sweetheart to a wealthy aristocrat. 'Max Hennessy' was one of the pseudonyms of crime, war and historical novelist John Harris (1916-91). His 1953 novel 'The Sea Shall Not Have Them' was the basis for a feature film of the same name in 1954. Quite a scarce book. From old enemies to old flames, Maguire will once again have to risk it all to prove his worth. Seller Inventory # 011465
