More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In the bitter January of 1893, the German peace crusader Dr Otto Seligmann is blown to pieces in the Belvedere, his garden library at Chelsea. Detective Inspector Box and Sergeant Knollys interview Seligmann's associate, Count Cernzy, who reveals that Britain is infested by agents of the German war party. In the fog-shrouded garden of Seligmann's house, Box encounters Colonel Kershaw, the suave but sinister head of secret intelligence, who enlists his aid to search for Seligmann's killer. Box finally discovers the secret of the Hansa Protocol, and the true purpose of the Belevedere explosion. The mission ends in a desperate confrontation on which the nation's future will depend.

Boys Own Adventure,
By
This review is from: The Hansa Protocol (Hardcover)
For Amazon readers who delight in boys own type infantile adventures this will be just up their street. Moreover, readers are invited to prostrate themselves before the text like robotic dull witted boy scouts to adulate Imperialism - Colonialism - and Kings, Queens and Princes. To invoke in the young such appalling degeneracy and demeaning acquiescence to anachronistic institutions and the royal spongers who live off them is cringingly appalling. My young relations will be denied such Imperialistic clap trap and I suggest that other parents do the same.No this is not for them.Remembering some of the text two weeks later still induces a cringe factor of ten on the cringe scale!! Brian Rayner.
