| Description: | The penultimate volume in Leonaur''s collected edition of Sapper''s original Bulldog Drummond-two great adventure novels and a bonus short story These are the original adventures of Sapper''s Bulldog Drummond collected together in a special Leonaur five volume collection-each special book containing two full length Bulldog Drummond novels plus one short story featuring the eponymous hero. Their author, Sapper-H. C. McNeile-was a British Army officer in the Royal Engineers during the Great War and took the popular name of his corps as his unforgettable nom-de-plume. His main character, the hard fighting, hard playing but clean living English gentleman, Hugh Drummond, is a wealthy and decorated ex-officer for whom life after the First World War is proving mightily dull. To remedy this intolerable state of affairs he and his trusted band of henchmen, ''The Black Gang,'' embark on a career of detection and high adventure (occasionally crossing the line of the law) satisfyingly filled with villainous ''foreign'' foes, deadly ''bad-but-beautiful'' women and, of course, a bevy of beautiful ''good'' women to be rescued from death and fates worse than! Drummond is a man''s-man of the likes of Richard Hannay and Doc Savage, a hero that could be set against the likes of a Fu Manchu and a proto James Bond who is guaranteed to throw himself into colourful ''between the wars'' two fisted action at every opportunity-to the delight of readers who enjoy adventure from a more innocent age. This fourth volume contains the full length novels The Return of Bulldog Drummond and Knock Out and the bonus short story ''Wheels Within Wheels.'' These fabulous volumes are available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket. Leonaur hardcovers are fully cloth bound, have head and tail bands and feature gold foil embossed lettering upon their spines-a credit to every collection and bookshelf. |
