Product Description

Product Description
'It is my opinion that Biggles is dead,' asserted the Air Commodore. 'I had already sensed that, Sir, but I don't believe it,' retorted Algy. When Biggles undertakes a lone mission to rescue an Italian princess from Mussolini's Italy, he doesn't know he's walking into a trap. Against all the odds, he gets the princess to the aircraft ready to fly them back to safety, but he never reaches the plane. He's last seen wounded and surrounded by the enemy, but Algy, Ginger and Bertie refuse to accept that he's dead until they see the evidence themselves.

From the Back Cover
WHERE IS BIGGLES?

Biggles is missing. Last seen lying shot and bleeding, surrounded by the enemy his chances of survival are not good. But Algy, Ginger and Bertie will not give up until they find him, dead or alive, and if that means entering enemy territory then that's what they'll do.

Biggles is back! Now classic fiction, the action-packed adventures of cult hero and flying ace Squadron Leader James Bigglesworth are available in new editions for another generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Espionage in France!!!, 12 Feb 2005
By KayJay (UK, Kent) - See all my reviews
Even though there is not much flying in this book and Biggles is hardly in it, i would consider this to be one of the best biggles books i've read. you get to look at the story more from other characters point of veiw and see how they cope in difficult situations. it is a truly gripping story with quite a bit of mystery over the question Where is Biggles? and Who is the girl in blue?
read it, its highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of twists a typical Biggles book - brilliant !, 14 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Lots of plot twists. First impressions don't count in this book - you have to read the book to find out why! Set in Spain during the Second World War. The book is very true to its title, unlike other Biggles books such as Biggles Breaks the Silence (re-published as Biggles in the Antarctic). I am a Biggles nut, but this is one of my favourites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggles Fails to Return - Biggles at his best!, 31 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I have read many many Biggles books in my lifetime - 13 years - but this one has to be my favourite. Amusing, frightening and spellbinding, this thrilling tale of treachery, romance and murder in wartime Monaco, from the pen of celebrated master storyteller WE Johns, is not to be missed. universally, timelessly brilliant.
