Synopsis

Seeking to turn the clock back several centuries, a dedicated group of intellectuals and servicemen set out to restore English royal prerogatives and regain lost colonies and dominions by taking advantage of political unrest in a number of countries. Through intrigue, guile, patronage, flattery and inducements they achieve some of their aims, but emotional problems frustrates others and personal ambitions intrude fatally. The tense action is gripping, unpredictable and exciting. Women readers will love the high emotion involvement as much as the men strive to keep up with the plots twist and turns. Definitely a him and her narrative with lots to discuss and fight over: better buy two books or get the spare room ready.

About this title

About the Author

Peter Bailey was born in London, and his first venture beyond the capital was his wartime evacuation to a small North Devon village. Missing the London blitzes, he suffered the full horror of the V1 and V2 raids when he returned. After a fragmented state education, he enlisted in the Fleet Air Arm. From an early age, he wanted to write, but a lack of life experience proved to be a handicap. His early efforts at writing persuaded him to travel. He began writing Fortune's Bastard on a Far East cruise before leaving the navy to qualify as a barrister.
