Product Description

Product Description
When zero visibility forces Biggles to land his Vandal amphibian aircraft on the North Sea he thinks he's just got a spot of aeroplane bother. Bigger trouble is ahead for Biggles when he takes an unchartered ride in a flying boat manned by 'Blackbeard' - a cohort of the Russian Airfleet and accomplice in a plot to bomb Britain.

From the Back Cover
Council of War!

Bad weather forces Biggles to land on a desolate part of the Norfolk coastline, a quick reconnaissance uncovers equipment rigged up for military warfare. With the Second World War imminent, Biggles tackles the mystery - and finds the safety of the nation could be at stake . . .

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 A Suspense Filled Book, 26 April 2000
By A Customer
Well this book took me by surprise because the last Biggles book that I read was set during the war. This one was not, and immediately my interest was aroused because I wondered how the story would unfold. From the very beginning I was intrigued because for a start the plane that Biggles and Algy were flying was different, a seaplane, which was very interesting indeed. I found that the description of their adventures was amazing, especially the first desolate spot they were forced to land in. It was very well done and left the reader in suspense and wonder. As the story went on, I found that it got more and more exciting, and I was also surprised when we were introduced to Ginger, one of the main characters in later books. He was very likeable and I admired him very much in it. The story had lots of locations, and lots of things going on which I found brilliant, and the way that things happened made me full of suspense. It was very unpredictable which was very cleverly done. I liked it very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adventure, 18 Jul 2008
By "Smith" Reader (West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Biggles and the Black Peril is a super adveture story. Set after WW1, Biggles is out on a 'joy ride, lands in fog and becomes involved in a race to save the country from invasion.
This is the first Biggles book to feature 'Ginger'.

A must have for all Biggles fans!
