The Original Bulldog Drummond: 5-Bulldog Drummond at Bay, Challenge & Thirteen Lead Soldiers - Hardcover
by Sapper (Author)
The Leonaur's collected edition of Sapper's original Bulldog Drummond stories draws to a close-the final two 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.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
